Let me introduce you to this precious little soul, whose name is Evie.
Evie came here yesterday afternoon, after her lovely worried human, sent us a video of her, and asked for help.
Evie is an ex commercial hen, and we all know just how fragile these dear little hens can be. It seems the weather and struggle to grow some feathers has taken its toll.
She’s receiving round the clock care in our bathroom, where the temperature is always warm, and any sunshine streams in through the window.
Evie has been sipping at her Emeraid Omni and was pecking at some Kaytee at lunchtime 😊👍
She’s a tired little hen, who needs warmth, and rest, and peace and quiet, and that’s exactly what she’ll get here.
Some good thoughts too would be nice please if you have any to spare 🥰

🥶 Everyone is trying to find a spot in the sunshine this morning, even our friend, Cyril Squirrel, who you can see on the top of the fence waiting for his peanuts ❤️
The caravan dwellers do have a heat pad if they want it to keep warm, but they prefer to snuggle 🥰

Update - I have read each one of your name suggestions and I love every single, one of them, thank you.
I have chosen to name our hen Fleur, in memory of Anne Johns wonderful little Jack Russell, Fleur, who very sadly went to sleep in Anne’s arms yesterday, cuddled in front of the fire 🥰
We were contacted a few days ago about this hen, who urgently needed a new home due to some very sad circumstances.
She arrived safely at Lowveld this morning, and she’s a beautiful lady, 9 yrs of age with quite an unusual comb. 🥰
She’s been a lone hen, living indoors, and we think she’ll enjoy some company once her quarantine period ends, and following some careful introductions.
She needs a name ❤️

Our first delivery of hardwood chippings have arrived, which we purchased with money raised by the fundraising group Redbirds Chirpy Chat Fundraising Group. 😀❤️
As soon as we have got these into some of our muddiest runs, we shall be ordering more!
This is going to make such a big improvement 👍

After a very cold start this morning, we’re all enjoying the glorious sunshine this afternoon, and we’re busy getting on with some well man checks (the pics are Lance and Harris)
Extra bedding is going in all our sheds, ready for an evening colder night tonight, even our cats will be getting heat pads in their beds 🥶

As this year draws to a close, we would like to wish you all a very kind, peaceful and compassionate 2025 🥰
Thank you for being there for us during the past year, we are truly grateful for your love and support, in fact we couldn’t have done it without you! 🥰
I’ve been looking back through our records, and 2024 was one of our busiest (and wettest 😱) since Lowveld hatched, way back in 2008.
During the past 12 months we took in 117 hens, 10 chicks including 6 baby raptors 😱😂, 6 cockerels, 4 ducks, 4 ducklings, 1 pheasant, 1 quail and 2 turkeys. Oh, and 2 cats who we fostered for Shropshire Street Cats😁.
Out of these, we rehomed 36 hens, 1 cockerel, 4 ducklings and the beautiful cats. The remainder will remain with us as permanent residents, where they will be loved and adored for the rest of their precious lives ❤️
The photos which follow, are some of some of the birds who we are proud to have helped during 2024.
We need YOUR help, so that we can continue to work very hard during the coming year. We truly appreciate every single comment, word of encouragement, donation, like, share, kind thought, and message you send our way ❤️
Love and Best Wishes from Diane, Rob, Steve and Steve ###x 😊

The girls and I have something very exciting to tell you!
We have received an absolutely wonderful donation of £500, which was raised for us by Redbirds Chirpy Chat Fundraising Group.
They are a small community of animal lovers who raise much needed funds for rescues like ourselves.
We are so grateful to them, also to Jackie Solomon who put our name forward in the first place ❤️
Redbirds heard about our plight when we were so badly flooded during storms Bert and Darragh, and we shall be using the money they have raised to buy hardwood wood chippings to improve our soggy enclosures.
I have wasted no time ordering 20 x 70L bags of Premium Chicken Wood Chips, which will be delivered 3/4th January, and as soon as we have distributed these, i shall order more!! 😁👍
Thank you everyone in the group who has made this happen, we are all so grateful to you ☺️

Granville would like to say thank you to Caroline, Carol and Judy for your kind Paypal donations 🥰
Granville was found by a very caring person when he was wandering dehydrated and confused on a pathway through Granville Country Park, Telford, back in the summer.
Thankfully he made a full recovery at Lowveld, and he now has 21 of our ladies to watch over, so he’s a very happy and busy boy 😁
