    OK, I'm jumping in to battery hen rescue...now what?!!!!

    We got our first chickens in August (8 chicks--easter eggers, cochin, dominique, maran, buff orph,wynadotte, & australorpe). They have grown into beautiful healthy girls. I'm anxiously awaiting their first eggs--hoping for a Christmas morning surprise. We live adjacent to a neighborhood on 6...
