At my workplace (a hotel) we keep alpacas, ducks, my little group of golden pheasants and also a small flock of chickens.
A few months ago the last of our hens passed away and our rooster was left alone with the ducks in the big run - so just a couple of weeks ago I signed up to adopt some ex battery hens and we picked them up this wednesday passed.
I am over the moon in love with these ladies already and just wanted to share some photos and maybe ask some questions.
They are mostly in really good condition and come from a "free range" commercial situation, but so happy to be outdoors, with enrichment, ponds, varied food, SUNLIGHT (though quite a bleak, Scottish variety
) and a rooster to look after them.
Romeo the rooster is also absolutely delighted to have them.
We have had no eggs so far but I am sure they will soon get to laying again!
This is the lady that is in the worst shape of the lot, but she does love to pose for a photo.
