After a very muddy walk to the farm to collect them and a smelly ride home in the car we managed to settle the girls into their new home with no problems at all.
It wasn't long before they were enjoying the natural sunlight scrapping around in the dirt looking for anything interesting to eat which must be so different to being cooped up in a confined space with no natural light.
I must say i was amazed by what good condition they were all in, i have had battery hens before and they were in a very sorrowful state so it looks like Jamie Oliver's campaign for better hen welfare has paid off.
Here are the girls exploring their new surroundings.
What a lovely story xx
ReplyDeleteI love this! I think rescuing hens is a very good idea. I am sure they'll be very happy with you.

ReplyDeleteThe ladies look in very good condition. I have 4 rescue hens now. I got three a few weeks ago and one of them was nearly featherless. Xxx
