batty hen Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hello Everyone I have been looking at the Omlet website and club forum for the past week and am very excited about becoming a chicken owner. It has taken a while but finally have the thumbs up from LSH. I am going to my first hen party in Reading on 6th July. We would like to offer a home to three ex batts and house them in an Eglu Cube. I have emailed the Battery Hen Welfare Trust to put my name on the waiting list. Can't wait to get started - in fact I think this has become an obsession - I guess it's OK though as this seems to be an accepted state of mind on this website!

cathybc Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 you will love them, I am so pleased you have chosen ex-batts, they so deserve lovely homes. And I don't know about 'talking chickens to people' - I sometimes find myself wandering round the garden chanting 'bok bok bok.....'.

Dodge Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi Angel, I'm so glad that my post cheered you up. As I work in the corporate world, there's no way I could have that as a ring tone. So when I am feeling down, I just play that on my PC and it makes everyone laugh out loud. Hope you have a great weekend. Regards Dodge.

Chickvic Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hello and welcome from me too! You will love the chickens batty hen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange1 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 That's sweet of you Seagazer. Everyone will be wondering, seemed bad at the time but I feel better about it now. I had laser eye surgery 5 years ago and it went wrong, today I was finally told that nothing more could be done! As I say, felt sad earlier on, but feel better about it, things could be SO much worse, I could have no sight at all! I am normally a 'half full' girl!

mayflower Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Welcome Batty Hen. You will love your ex bats and they will return your love. We do'nt regret for one minute adopting ours.
