PurpleHen Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 So could this rule be changed if we already have hens ? Although I do understand that will make a lot more admin work if people start taking one or two rather than three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem you have is it wouldn't be fair to put the ex batteries in with the existing girls, due to injury and feather loss for example.

PurpleHen Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I thought you might say that Anyhow - my Mum is retired and currently sort of living in two places. One near my home and the other in a lovely cottage in north Wales, where she is spending more and more time (particularly now there is broadband ). There is loads of room there and she wants to get chooks when she is there more often than not - so I have her in line for a Mark III which could then fit loads ( ) of battery in. They would have acres of space to wander round in . I will keep working on her, probably won't be for a year or so though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 That is so encouraging Martin. So many young people these days are only concerned with what they can have for themselves so your offer is wonderful. You are a star. Thanks everybody.

The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hey Hon, the girls are back in town (as GRD said). I had a great time at Mel's on Monday, her OH really is lovely, and Minky is as mad as she says I hope that they can come to the rescue too.

buffie Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have had a good day. Just been told a piece I have written about battery hens and how they changed my life is going to be published in Organic Life Magazine in August. I am thrilled, Jane has checked it's ok and given me the thumbs up so that's my headache gone. Omlet get a nice mention or 3 so I hope that pleases them and I get to talk about my work and how the girls have influenced that. I had to get it submitted by the weekend and have spent about 5 hours on it again today. I need a glass of wine! BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
