New Beginnings Rescue & Rehoming

21/12/2024

We've been pretty slow on the social media front the past few weeks, and normally we try to post daily for our supporters to see what we've been doing and the animals we've been helping.

But we have been that busy and constantly travelling that posts have been the last thing on the list. BUT there's been alot going on behind the scenes.

In the space of 7 weeks we have completed 5 LARGE hen rescues. We've rescued & rehomed almost 2000 hens. These hens came out of colony caged farms and barn farms.

Weve rehabbed alot of hens who wouldn't have had the same outcome had we not given them the chance.

We are tired but having the holiday period upon us means we get to stay off the road and recover for a few weeks atleast.

But It's all been worth it to see hens like the one below flourish in their forever homes.

A HUGE HUGE thank you to everyone who's donated or sponsored towards Flossys repair bill. It is officially all paid.

A massive thank you to The Faulty Cat Fund for considering us and the hens we help as well as the other rescues we transport for through out the North Island. 💜

Second payment made today for our Vet Bill Bonanza... Another that isn't a vet bill 🙈 😹

BUT something needed by New Beginnings Rescue & Rehoming to keep their much loved float (named Flossy!) on the road & rescuing! ❤️

We paid the last $100 owing on what was initially a huge bill for Flossy! 🙌
Flossy the float transports thousands of animals each year, not only the thousands of hens that New Beginnings rescues but they also help other rescues throughout New Zealand by transporting animals to their new homes! 🥰

Dani (the crazy chicken lady 🐥) & her team do incredible work not just in Taranaki, but across New Zealand! We are so happy we could help them out with this 😻

We left in the wee hours of this morning and we are still on the road to home.

We've now been awake for 15 hours with many more hours to go. But we saved hundreds or colony caged hens from a horrible fate.

122 hens are either in their new homes or heading to their new homes to live the best life a chicken could ever ask for. Thank you to our adopters for our Feilding spot every single hen who got to go to a home is a life saved because of you all.

While we carry on the many more hours until home I'm excited for the rest of the beautiful girls that head to their homes tomorrow morning. And the girls we get to save next weekend.

Thank you to everyone who's shared, supported or adopted we are forever greatful 💜🐔

FLOSSYS REPAIR UPDATE

Flossy is officially back on the road and even with a brand new wof!

We are so relieved to know she's back on the road and in better health then ever, Flossys had ALOT of repairs including - new brake master cylinder, new brake lines, new backplates and obviously new brakes! 4 new leaf springs, alot of new shiny bolts to secure everything back into place and even 2 new ramp pins. As one of our latches had snapped off!

While Flossy has been off the road we've also been busy doing cosmetic work, we've had all the paint and supplies here for her make over but never had the time but while she was off the road we have started and we can't wait to show you the finished result.

For now here are the photos of new vs fire damaged.

HOWEVER with all of Flossys repairs we unfortunately didn't raise enough and still owe a bill on her fire damage repairs of $750.00 and we would love to be able to pay the bill and have that stress off our backs!

So if your able to donate to Flossys repair bill please consider even just $1 if 750 of our followers donated $1 we wouldn't owe any money. So please consider donating today to New Beginnings Rescue 06-0709-0926847-00 with Flossy as the reference. You'll also go in our Christmas Donation Draw 💜

Thank you to those that have already donated we managed to almost pay 3/4 on collection.

But the biggest thank you to Chooks Pumping and Engineering for all their hard work on Flossy and the animals that we will be able to continue to help because of you. 🐔 We felt it was only fitting that Chooks helped the Chook rescue!

It's hard to get a nice photo round here when the hens want to inspect the camera quality. but now we've got your attention please carry on reading on how YOU could have your own camera inspectors. 🐔

UPCOMING HEN RESCUES

We've been asked to help not 1 but 2 more hen farms this year and we couldn't say no... and yes they are only a week apart from each other!!

We are searching for forever homes in AUCKLAND, TARANAKI & MANAWATU

These girls range between 16 and 18 months old and are brown shaver hens who are the perfect most friendliest hens when they've settled into their homes.

We are asking only pet forever homes apply, if wanting to apply please send us through your contact details and photos of hen house and hen area.

Please note adoption donations do apply.

🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Yesterday came with almost 4 hours of blackberry bushes, swampy creek and a drain.

Dani received a call early yesterday morning about a mumma duck unfortunately being run over on a rural country road and 4 ducklings were running around scared.

We jumped into action and 15 minutes later we discovered 5 ducklings not 4.

Well these little ducklings are not only quick but they had us going through blackberry bushes, swampy creek and a drain.

THANKFULLY we were able to capture all 5 and they are now in our care with full bellies and nice and warm 💜

Meanwhile we are still getting blackberry prickles out but the main thing is they are safe and well loved.

FLOSSY THE FLOAT

Over the last 6 weeks you've seen us trying to fundraise to get Flossy the float back on the road as Flossy is what transports thousands of hens year after year.

Below are some photos of part of the fire damage... you'll notice the brake pads are non existence and there's alot melted and cracked.

Flossy will officially be back on the road by the 22nd of November and we couldn't be more relieved and excited as she is what makes large rescues possible.

HOWEVER we unfortunately still haven't fundraised enough for all of Flossys repairs but have been graced with the option to pay the remainder over 4 weeks once she's repaired.

But we would LOVE to not end up with a bill to pay off when she's finally repaired and ask that you consider donating a small $2 towards Flossy. If 400 of our followers donated $2 each Flossys bill would be fully covered and paid on the day of picking her up meaning that our budget isn't thrown out of wack and we can still continue to help animals and ensure we have the funds for any animals needs.

If your able to even donate $2 it means that you'll go in our Christmas Donation Draw. For every $2 donated you go in the draw to win 1 of 4 amazing prizes to be won! And who doesn't love helping their favorite hen rescue and potentially winning a prize as well. 🐔

RESCUED HENS LIVING THEIR BEST LIFE

We love getting sent videos of some of our rescue girls living their best life, and love how much adopters go the extra mile for them 🐔

Below is what looks like a super tall hen but reality is she's jumping for freshly grown silverbeet that's been hung for some enrichment for the hens.

We couldn't be more greatful for our adoptees and the hens that get to live their best life..🐔

HARROW DAY

Massive thank you to Pouakai Services for coming and harrowing the paddocks for us yesterday.

Not only has it saved us hours of raking and and p**p scooping but its someone whos happy to help their local animal charity get the s*** jobs done (literally) 🚜

Not sure who was more excited me or the toddler that there was a tractor in the paddocks (possibly me as it's saved so much time and effort better spent rehabbing animals).

If your in Taranaki get In contact with David for any of your paddock needs, he's someone we look forward to having harrow for us regularly.

Please like his page and show him some support. Support local.
