Every year the GSPCA rescues and takes in dozens of chickens and this weekend the Shelter has a real challenge.
The GSPCA will helping with the unwanted hens in and around the Last Post area in St Andrews.
Stray chickens can easily cause problems by multiplying into large numbers which can cause both health problems and other issues.
The GSPCA will be popping along to help catch a number of the hens for rehoming to help with the problem of the large numbers of birds roaming the area.
By catching the hens this helps prevent eggs being laid and the problem multiplying and Shelter staff will be doing what they can to rescue these feathered friends.
Currently the GSPCA has two cockerels and one hen looking for a new home named Hardy, Henrietta and Laurel. All three came in as chicks and are now looking for a new home.
We are appealing for anyone who can help home these unwanted birds to please contact the GSPCA on 01481 257261 or call in to the Shelter in St Andrews.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are attending this weekend to see what we can do.'
'There are many birds and we aren't sure of exact numbers, but we will be doing what we can to help.'
'We desperately need homes lined up as we have dozens of chickens at the Shelter every year.'
'For those interested in helping we do have chicken coops on sale at the GSPCA and we are happy to talk about what these birds will need.'
Here are Hardy, Henrietta and Laurel as chicks
