Ahhhh Ive Rescued Some Battery Hens!*pics*

It makes me sad looking through this thread form the start. There was nothing I could do to help Flora but if I had the knowledge that I have now then I could have easily saved Ruby.
 
1 year today since Flora was killed.
RIP Flora and Ruby

Is this any help to you? https://word.office.live.com/wv/Wor...and+In+Runs+&+Other+Mud+Management+Ideas.docx
Also found these comments which could help
"some sort of drainage and material that will soak up water before it turns the ground into mud. All i do is I put a weed supressant matrial down in the run, covered it in sand, then gravel, and then i use hard wood chip. my run might get water on it, but it doesnt turn into mud now. Oh yeh and I put down hemp on top which absorbs any wet as well and I rake over once a week if they are in their run, but mine actually free ranged mostly anyway"
 
Some of you may be interested int he story or an Ex batt I found today. I have posted about it in my Picture thread :)
