hi,

 

Thanks for that,I did wonder though about going to get them from a battery place, as the battery place near us went up in a blue light a few years ago(paper announced police report that it was arson by animal activists)and there were people just going loading vans up with the remaining survivors the day after(i suppose this was a exception though through circumstances)it was awful though you could smell chicken from quite a way away and it did make me think how many birds had died as it is quite a big place.
