    Hock walking

    Hi, I seem to be asking lots of advice at the moment. I got some battery hens about 2 weeks ago. I had a couple of soft eggs but that cleared up.

    Hi All

    Bless them they gave 19 yesterday but 2 were soft shelled so they obviously had not been getting all they needed before. Today so far I have had 10. I was surprised that they payed straight away. I thought it would be a couple of days from the stress of moving.

    Hi All

    I hope this works lol. There should be some pics of our ladies above. We were not quite prepared for them as the pen was made last summer but not put together so they are in with the rabbit at the moment.
