Title: x battery hens wanted
Post by: cwmfarm123 on March 01, 2014, 03:56:26 pm
X battery hens wanted about 20 in number, if anybody knows of a number I could ring please.

I had 10 last month in monmouth with the hen welfare trust, but could only have 10.
I have a shed to suit 50  so looking for a few more.

I found the x batts fab, even though havnt had many eggs yet lol.

Why not find out where your local 'free-range' poultry farm is and ask direct when they clear out.

They usually keep them 13 or 14 months clear the lot out disinfect and start again 3 weeks later.
There's bound to be one not too far away

It might be a bit far but Pitney Farm (organic) near Bridgewater is clearing out this week.  Contact Somerset Smallholders Association for more details.
