I've made this Video of my Ex-Battery Hens, Five months later, to compare how they look since I adopted them in June 2009. They hardly had any feathers when I collected them from the rescue centre In Coventry. So now they look much Improved feather wise. One thing with Hens, is that they do have a nasty habit of pecking at each others Feathers, so I hope that ceases. Otherwise the eggs are certainly much better than shop bought ones. The Hens also eat most kitchen scraps and eventually their manure will be recycled on my garden, after a few months in the compost bins. You cannot use it straight away, otherwise it can burn roots of your plants being fresh manure. I avoided having a Cockerell, due to environmental issues!. I also did'nt want waking up at 5am in a morning. The hens are fine though without one.
