First came the girls from a local farm who have laid for us almost daily since they arrived, then we got to hear of the Battery Hen Trust who do very good work rescuing battery hens from a cramped and frankly poor conditions and put our name down for some.
This was shortly before Hugh Fernley Whittingstall's & Jamie Oliver's programs, the result was the trust became inundated with requests so we were warned we had long wait for our rescue girls. But luckily in early May we got a call, a batch was available that night, so off we went to collect 6 rescued girls, minus feathers were they put their heads through the cages to feed, and a couple limped as they never have to walk. But within days they were all outside, nesting and laying. Now they are getting their feathers back and doing all the things chickens like to do..
So here we have a collection of Chicken, Cockerel and Hen related items that are proving very successful - we hope you will like them too....
