Good for you Johnn!

My first hen was an ex-batt (and a lot more "oven ready" looking than your pretty girls lol ) and she was a real character.

There has been a big campaign to rehouse ex-batts before the new EU laws come into force in January. I was going to get some, but I must live in the most chicken-friendly County in England because my area has none on offer.

Let us know when you get your first eggs smile

Everyone'll settle down eventually, maybe give them a bit more time separated but 'side by side' if you can. The second set of photos show they're already more relaxed and looking more like chickens and less like battery hens. Nicely done, Johnn!
Merry Christmas to you and your family -
