So yes, back on January 31st (can't believe it's that long) we picked up six ex-batts.

And well yes, they're coming along great. Most are getting feathers and look ,well, like chickens. They're now "proper" chickens too, enjoying a free range most days (well everyday there's no rain.)







And well, I think that's enough for now, as you don't need too many.

Oh they're lovely. I think its a wonderfull thing you're doing, giving those poor birds the chance of a life - you have literally given them a reason to live. And I know they repay you tenfold because you love them - not just because you get eggs.

They are feathering up beautifully!! Its so rewarding watching them becoming 'real' chickens like they should be.

Lovely pics-can't wait to see if mine end up looking that good-they still look a bit raggedy but it's early days. Nice work!
