Chicken Hyäne

Marco | Chicken

An Aiderbichler turned to us for help. His son-in-law was the proud owner of 40 chickens. Among them, however, were nine roosters. The boys were making life very difficult for each other and unfortunately some of the cockerels had to go. The man asked us to take them in because slaughtering them was out of…

Finja | Chicken

Finja was put out to pasture because she had served her time as a laying hen. Laying hens are turned out when they are just under one and a half years old, which means that they are slaughtered or, if they are lucky, can continue their lives elsewhere - even if they don't perform. Consumers…

Piper | Chicken

Piper is one of 22 chickens that we were able to take in. An animal lover lived with ponies and chickens on a farm that she now has to leave. She asked us to take in her charges. We tried to find space and were able to take in all 22 of her chickens. The…

Antonia | Chicken

Antonia is one of the young laying hens that have been put out to pasture. Every year, we take in young hens whose laying performance is declining. It is important to consider in good time what should happen to laying hens at the end of their laying period. Killing and disposing of them via the…

Grisy | Chicken

The owners of the flock of chickens, Anna, Burschi, Charlotte, Grisy, Rosa, Schneeweißchen, Charly and Liesa, moved to Greece for professional reasons. They were unable to accompany the chicken family there. They were welcomed into the large flock of chickens at the Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf meeting farm. Grisy is a real lady among the chickens.

Pauli | Chicken

Pauli lived with other roosters in a riding stable and caused trouble there. All of the roosters were supposed to die, but before they did, they were given a place to live in Carinthia by Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center.

Berta | Chicken

Berta and her henhouse friends fell ill with chicken flu and were treated. However, as they lived on a farm that lived from selling eggs, the eggs from the treated chickens could no longer be sold (Food Protection Act) and were therefore no longer economically viable. But simply letting them be slaughtered was not an…

Henri | Chicken

Henri, a Vorwerk cockerel, hatched in the incubator. Oskar Vorwerk is the breeder and namesake of the Vorwerk chickens, which he began breeding in 1902. Oskar Vorwerk was one of the better-off who had a large property with a villa at his disposal. In those days, poultry breeding was a popular hobby for these circles.…

Mirella | Chicken

Mirella, Cinderella, Tina and Rosella had a stroke of luck. They came from the Classroom program. Twenty young people from Bavaria spent ten weeks on a mountain pasture in the Limestone Alps of Austria. Living there with them were 25 chickens from a chicken farm. The hens are about four years old and only wanted…
