HENthusiastic Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Awwww what a sweetie. I'm not normally one for animals in clothes,but it must be very chilly for ex-batts when they first come out even if they are fully feathered. SO to come out bald, into the natural weather must be quite a shock to the system. I have often thought about the ex-batts that come out of the factorys in winter, must be a shock to them. Poor little mites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 A friend of mine, who wasn't even battery chicken aware until I went on and on about it to him emailed that link to me earlier today. Perhaps the message is finally getting out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
