Hello EVERYONE!!

as I am still getting veiws on this vid, thought I'd update you all .... 3 out 4 hens are still very healthy :)... 22 months out of the battery cages, no health issues at all with them. AND THEY ARE ARE STILL LAYING beautiful eggs almost every day ... I'd be lost without them!

Hi Kcwacey. If you go to Jimbo's ex battery hens" you will see out 3 ladies and there garden. Its batten down the hatches for tonight as bit of a storm is passing over the south coast!

[JIMBO5444]

The music made me smile. We have just rehomed 3 ex batt hens. Saw a battery shed 25 years ago and never bought cheap eggs again. We love watching Lady Gaga, Kylie and Cher doing chicken stuff. We will post a video real soon. Good luck to all rehomers

There beautiful. Sorry to hear about your loss.. Hope they are happy :)

Getting some and a Omlet Eglu for Christmas, do they need any extra heat?

@xMolly1997x Hi Molly ... it depends on what condition they in.. if they are mostly featherless they will do (of corse depending on how cold it gets) I got 2 ind december, and they made it through the winter no probs... As long as they are kept dry and draft free .. extra straw ... if u do worry about featherless ones, there are people that make hen jumpers! (very cute) I will contact someone about them if u want jumpers xxxx

Well done for rescuing, a year ago now! How are they doing? (:

[kcwacey]

@MollysChickens Hello Molly :)

One of the hens died a week after rescue, post mortem revealed a huge lump inside her, very sad :( But the other three (main girls on this video) are all very well indeed, all still laying but they learnt how to break and eat their own eggs! lol .. not that i mind of course.I am very pleased with their health they are no different to my posh hens

The Hens said thank you for asking about them :) xxxxxxx

Congratulations on giving these bird a new home.  I hope others follow suit: they are great fun!

[bellaluce]

I applaud your efforts. I wish I could take some in myself.

You did a great thing, providing a home for those beautiful girls. I bet they are so thrilled to be in a much more of a natural environment with places to dig and dust bathe and people actually being kind to them. Chickens are fantastic!
