jimnpaula Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Our original ex batts are slowly reducing in number leaving us room for more hens. After contacting the BHWT they now have us down for 4 ex free rangers who will be coming home on Sunday. Just wondering what experiences anyone has had with ex commercial free range birds? I don't know much about the system, but assume they have had a nestbox and a house to roost in and should pick up the new arrangements quickly? The spare house and run are set up already and I plan to keep them in for a few days to imprint where 'home' is, and that nice things come in green dishes. Now to decide on names.

Goosey Lucy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I did I took on 12 lovely ladies, unfortunately one suffered a nasty proplapse within a week of being with us but the rest had a lovely life. They quickly got themselves sorted in the cubes and were great at putting themselves to bed every night. I did keep them in the runs for a full week before I let them free range though, just to make sure they knew where home and food was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
