Ex Battery Hens Arrive

These are the recently rescued twelve ex battery hens. We collected these in early April. They have settled in very well and as you can see have already started to grow new feathers. We were most surprised that these lovely little hens continued to lay from the day we brought them home. It is amazing what a bit of space rather than a small metal cage does for them. They have their own enclosure with a large new hen house. Once again chipped bark as a base which gives them a lovely environment to peck and scrap around in.

In the picture above you can see what sort of condition these chickens are after leaving a battery unit.

You can also see their enclosure and beautiful hen house. We will keep you updated on the progress of our ex bats as they continue to develop and enjoy their new surroundings.
