3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

Hello,

 

I couldn't find my original post so though "oh well Ill start a new one!" anyway, I'm so sorry I forgot to add those pics of molly after she was stitched up!! but shes doing well and back in the garden with the other hens although in the eglu and small run inside the big WIR so they can still see her. The other battery hens don't seem to be too bothered that shes been away so I don't think mingling her in will be a problem!! Might add the other battery hen in with her as soon as her stitches fall out!

 

 

on the sad note- I did have 3 ex battery hens one being Molly who's doing fab!! I popped into the run and found one of the ex batts in the run dead!! I didn't feel to sad (strangely) I know they don't seem to survive long due to their harsh life on the battery farms, but I know over the last year she had the best I could offer and mainly freedom to free range in a garden full of grass!!!

 

forgot to add, I also have a broody hen!!!

all the best xxxxx

It's not nice when they go but it is good to know you have given them a few months or more of freedom. Good to know Molly is recovering.

i think it certainly helps to know that they have had a good life with you, though sad to lose them. One of the ladies at the rescue yesterday said that the average life expectancy for ex-batts is 1 year out of the cage. Having said that, she'd lost one of her girls recently after 4 years of freedom, so there is hope!

 

Good news about Molly.
