:thumbsup: , its lovely seeing ex battery hens have some fun, hope the tooth ache subsides, not much worse than tooth ache. I re homed my battery hens and now only have my original 4 Black Rocks due to wanting to sell up and not needing the extra eggs, but if we get some where suitable, I would love to have a few more, they are very entertaining....I miss my fat sandy! :(

I always said that I would re-home some ex-batts, or actually its ex-barn hens around here. The idea was to build a second run for them but unfortunately with Allens ill health it hasn't been possible this year.

If I were able to have chooks here, I would go for ex battery. I think it's alovely thing to do.

You won't be disappointed. I think ex-batts are the most rewarding chooks you can have. It's just beautiful to see their natural instincts kick in and them turn into handsome girlies from raggedy pathetic little things.
