Lavenders_Blue Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I collected my 4 ex-batts today from the lovely people at Little Hen Rescue. They are simply beautiful. I am completely smitten. They are very well feathered for ex-batts, just the odd tiny bald patch here and there but generally a good thick plumage. They were very nervous when we got them home and stayed all huddled together up at one end of the run. However after a couple of hours they got brave and decided to explore the rest of the run and were soon singing away at the tops of their voices to announce their arrival to the neighbourhood!! When it became pitch black they continued to do singing and refused to go to bed so muggins here had to try and catch them and put them in their house. This resulted in 2 escapees being chased round the garden by yours truly. I think they are going to be quite feisty and extremely entertaining!!! Should I ever work out how to, I will do my best to post some piccies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dappy Chick Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well done on giving your new girls a good home - looking forward to seeing the pics I love my ex-batts - bags and bags of character - they do not deserve to be kept like they do before someone like you comes along and gives them a happy retirement home They are lucky girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well this morning I got up early to let them out of their house and all their new found bravery of last night had gone. In total it took the 4 girls about two hours to come out of their house, and the last needed a little gentle 'persuasion'. But they have been happily scratching and pecking away all day, generally throwing their mash all over the place! The run is like a bomb site. However they have laid 3 beautiful eggs so they are forgiven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
