Lavenders_Blue Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Happy 3rd Henniversary to my very special ex-batt Bella - celebrating 3 years of free ranging today! An amazing achievement. Here is a photo of her taken just over a week ago (she is on the right). I will be spoiling her with some lovely treats later and no doubt she will thank me by pecking my feet and legs She is the tamest of my hens, and follows me up and down the run when I am out with the girls. She also likes to hop up onto my lap for a peck and a snooze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trougher Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 That's a fantastic age! Congratulations! Of my three, two lived about 20 months, and the last one is just over two years old (since coming out of the farm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 That is great, three years of freedom is brilliant. I can't see your picture perhaps it is just me as others seem to have seen it. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks everyone for your lovely comments! I am so proud of Bella for reaching her incredible 3 years of freedom. Happy henniversary Bella.Does she still lay any eggs ? She was laying the odd egg until a few weeks ago. All the ex-batts seem to have packed up for winter now (letting the young'uns get on with it!). I expect they will start their moult soon although I will worry about Bella making it through the moult. That is great, three years of freedom is brilliant. I can't see your picture perhaps it is just me as others seem to have seen it.
