Rona Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Its on now and coming up soon is a piece about someone who has rescued over 3,000 battery hens. Don't know if it is anything to do with BHWT as just heard the end of the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Outfit called Free at Last Was very heart warming to see these exbats enjoying their freedom. 3000 rescued over a period of time. Wonderful work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Interesting way of distributing them in the lay-by! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hmmm the very middle class woman with thie kids has chicken wire with a HUGE guage surrounding her hens which seem to live in a rather ramshackle coop. With all the lovely little tykes stuff in the background you'd think she'd get a cube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I thought it was a really nicely done article with some lovely before and after pics. You should be able to catch it when it comes up on the Inside Out website but I don't know how long after the programme it becomes available. http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/east/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I thought it was a well done piece and I reckon lots more people will think of getting ex bats. Shame you dodn't get a pic of a nice eglu or cube as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Omlet in one form or another is the least an ex batt should expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Mum liked the way it was done, didn't show too much of the distressing part or birds in bad condition. She gets very upset by that and won't watch - and that's fine because she doesnt' have to watch as she knows its a horrible cruel system which she tries to boycot.
