Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure
things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not
sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions?
Appreciate it

Thanks for a fun and useful site. I’m collecting my first ex-battery ladies on Saturday so it’s great to hear how it was for you. Just hoping it will go well with my rather ‘blonde’ dog Fritz. He will be jealous for a while but hope they can win him over!

I’m glad for those chickens, poor looking hens but now I know they’re well taken care of. Keep it up!

Thank you for doing your part and helping out poor harmless animals. This is something I wish I’d see more often.

Can’t believe people could do that to something that is so harmless. Even if they aren’t producing like they use to doesn’t mean they should die. This is exactly why I refuse to eat meat. I can not support the murdering of innocent animals.

Thanks very much for all of the supportive comments. I promise not to turn this into a chicken blog but will try to post the odd picture to keep you updated about how the girls are getting on.
Wendy – I’ll jot down a few notes about our chicken care routine. They’re super easy to look after and great fun – I can’t recommend them enough

What a coincidence. Here in my North Yorkshire village of Cowling, my friend Mo has just taken custody of a bunch of hens from the Battery Hen Welfare Trust. Apparently they are discarded when their egg-laying potential falls below the thresholds set by the supermarkets. I’ll be eating some of their delicious eggs soon, now that they have a free-range existence here on the local hillside.

Wonderful! Those are some happy looking chickens. And I’m so happy for them!
So, they just wander about? What do you have to do in terms of chicken care? I ask as it’s something I’d definitely think about in a couple of years.
