MissMoo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Got some Ex Batts yesterday and was really surprised on how feisty they were But they seem to have settled in really well and have even laid to eggs for me this morning So as a reward I let them out for a bit of free ranging when they soon found my other hens and went to say hello through the fence Can't wait for some better weather so I can spend some more time out there with them Edited December 20, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Congratulations I will take a couple when I get my new cube and WIR set up. I think winters are going to be soooo much longer now living with chickens, I cant wait for the lighter nights. One week today and we will start to get longer days again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennym Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Congrats Miss Moo, I so wish I could help some of the huge number of poor ex-batts coming out of the cages right now but there's just no way Ah well, at least these will be the last of the worst-off ones we'll see.

cd8jbr Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It's lovely you were able to help these poor birds, I wish I could take some more. I hope they settle in well and you all have a lovely Christmas (that goes for everyone else on here too!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfer_chicken Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Any chance of some pictures? I'm getting some ex-batts of my own just after Christmas My first set of ex-batts, so a new learning curve. Is it wrong that I secretly want some scabby ones so I can mother over them?
