new hens so new questions.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...
Re: forever home waiting NorthantsJust 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 ...
Re: pocket money, bank accs, cash cards...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...
Re: About Fresh Start for HensThe 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 ...

Welcome ex battery girlsI 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.
Re: I need to rehome my girlsI 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...
forever home waiting NorthantsI 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...

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...
Re: poor lilyI 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...
