annie hall Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hi All, More news. The eglu did turn out to be one of the new larger ones. Today we did a four and a half hour round trip to amanda in lincolnshire who works with the battery hen welfare trust. She sorted us out with three lovely warrens, all a bit thread bare but with mega personalities. They are all now cosied up in the eglu looking dead happy, and so are we.* Will post pics tomorrow. Annie *happy that is, not cosied up in the eglu, its not that big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Annie, Congratulations on your three lovely warrens (like the names!) So pleased to hear that you have gone ahead with battery birds and will give them such a wonderful home. Look forward to hearing more about them, and very best wishes for your 1st day with them, and the future, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Well done Annie I hope your girls fluff up and fatten up i am sure you will give them all the TLC they need I would love to see some pics......The gallery isn't working at the moment, but if you use a hosting site like photobucket you can put pics into your messages in the nesting box as long as you down size them first .............

Leanne Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 well done annie, thats 3 more battery hens getting a better life, they must be so relieved to be free of their cage, and to be in the care of someone who will ensure that the rest of their lives are happy.

motherhen Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Well done Annie Love the names I was going to ask what the new eglu is like, but you won't have seen one of the originals to compare How did you match the names to the hens. Does nigella have the biggest breast and felicity the cheekiest behind? Don't go into too much detail - you'll get murdo excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
