daj198 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I think most are Rhode Island Red - Light Sussex hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 They're usually, Isa Browns, Lohmann Browns or Warrens....and there a couple more I can't think of just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 We have Warrens which are the same type of chickens but ours weren't battery hens unfortunately. But all different breeders call them different things-i think some call them ISA Browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovemychooks Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Here are a couple of pics of my ex-batts which I got in September. They were my favourite chickens and loved them to bits. These photos were taken a couple of days after I got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
