Here are my new girls meeting my old girls.... post more soon

I collected my ex battery hens yesterday and I tried to leave them to settle as it was there first day. Today I couldn't help but take a look more closely. So now I have a few questions that I'm hoping you all might help me with. 1: I noticed there beaks are clipped or broken. I understand this is d...

Just picked up my 4 new ex battery hens. Was not as bold as I was expecting which is good as I was worried they might get cold tonight. They are feeding and drinking ok so far although very pale combes at the moment. Have been advised to worm so first thing tomorrow morning I will make up some mash ...

My daughter is 15 and I have just helped her open her own bank account. She has a debit card NOT a credit card. So she can only use what is in her account. She also has online banking on her mobile so she can get up to date balance. I do a bank transfer as and when she does do her allotted chores. I...

The time is getting nearer for my new girls to arrive and the panic is starting to rise.. So question 1 Will the ex battery girls need to be wormed and de bugged for red mite. question 2 Will they eat normal layers pellet from the start and can they have the same extras as my older girls. ie: pasta ...

I have ordered 3 but I hope I can have 4 but cant find a contact number so I can amend my reservation. I thought about reserving again but that will be just 1 they might think I'm odd. Not long now, There new half way house is all ready. I hope a week in there next to my older girls will help them s...

haven't been given an exact address yet was told I would about a week before, but I can come collect as there not to far away. I have other chooks which have been great. But this will be my first time with ex battery hens. MY girls are used to the dogs but I will have to keep my little one on a lead...

I am on the list now for the next rehoming so I'm busy getting the new coop ready for my new family members.
Hoping for 3 new girls end of Feb.
So time to think of some names.

So excited. But scared too as my first time homing ex battery hens. Lots of reading going on.

I wish I could help out but your too far away from me as I don't drive much these days.. I have a separate run all waiting for some lucky girls. As well as free run of my garden every day once they have settled in ok.. I would love to have the smaller types as well. Id love a silkie or two. Good luc...

I have missed out twice now on getting 3 new girls to add to my family.. I have left telephone details from my local place but I was hoping to have them settled before the really cold weather arrived.. My idea was having more bodies would help keep them all warm. If anyone knows of any girls wanting...

Iv reposted here hoping more people will read and I can get some more advice. My lily has been moulting and broody and not laying for nearly a year now and yesterday I found her with a small prolapse which I was able to gentle pop back inside. I spent most of the night googling about her to find out...

I understand moulting can take a lot out of the bird but Layer pellets are available fresh every day as is water. I let girls in to garden daily so plenty of worms. And treats most nights so how come she is so skinny. She is drinking and running about as usual. I didn't think to separate her so I wi...

my lily has been moulting for nearly a year now and stopped laying at the same time. I don't mind the wait as I have 2 other girls laying daily. But today as I was cleaning up after cleaning coop I also did the girls with redmite powder. This is when I noticed lily had a swelling..I always read up a...
