Post by: Bionic on March 13, 2016, 10:12:56 pm

A friend got 3 yesterday. And said they wern't just bald they looked more as if they had been plucked and were oven ready. Having said that all 3 of them laid an egg for her today.


I hope the weather is warm and  :sunshine: when [size=78%] mine come home [/size]

It is amazing how quickly they grow new feathers when they are have some sunshine and grass to run on. We got some ex barn hens from the Hen Welfare trust, they were quite bald but soon settled down to a life in the country. Good luck with them!
