Well done for rescuing them, they'll be so much happier in their new surroundings...

oh bless 'em

Mind you, they aren't as 'oven ready' as some I've seen, which is good.

We've only named two so far, Hatty and Limpet - still not sure what to call the other two.

Henrietta? Penelope?

Oh they look lovely! I have been wanting to do this for some time too. Do you know of any places in the north east?

Not sure to be honest!

Someone is bound to be able to tell you on the Ex-Battery Hen forum, though. C: http://exbatteryhens.com/index/

alexgirl73, my parents said they were going to call one of the hens 'Ovenready' - I protested. XD

I am so pleased these ladies are going to have a lovely home once they are settled. Although their feathers are a bit tatty, I have seen much worse ex-battery. They don't look as if they have been de-beaked.

What about Eliza or Guinevere?

Thanks for that Darky, ill have a look tomorrow, all the best with your lovely ladies!

Thank you! C:

Got up this morning, and my Mother has named the other two. XD

Twiggy is the sweet girl with nearly no fail feathers and is very bald under her wings and on her legs, and 'Gabby' is... Well, who everyone says is gobby. XD
