Chicken photos


Some piccies of a few of our chickens..
Some look quite scruffy - those who do were rescued from a battery farm and were almost bald, so their feathers just havn't grown back completely yet. Also, you see them eating pellets - that is not all that they are fed. And in the piccies where there are nettles, they have now been cut down - they were only allowed to grow because whenever we planned to cut them down it rained on us. (we have 17)

Re: Chicken photos


They all look quite good Jane considering you've rescued them from battery. It is so sad when they've been de-beaked. I am sure they will have a lovely time, nettles or no nettles and get used to living like chickens should do! Well done to you and your family.

Re: Chicken photos


How wonderful for them to be enjoying freedom at last. We hope to get some ex-batt chickens later this year.
