    Ex battery hens

    Hi all, lost my 3 ladies to a fox last week. I've decided to re home ex battery hens. I'm collecting them on Sunday. Any suggestions for what I should do for them? Anything special I should get? Thanks

    Beak

    Thanks so much for your help. I'll research it now. The best way to describe it is it looks like the bottom of beak is slightly longer

    Sleeping on straw on the floor of roosting box

    I only got them yesterday evening but the older started when she was on her own. Coop is safe I'm not overly concerned about it once they're happy and comfortable and it won't do them any harm

    Lonely Hen

    You can see the difference in her already. Not so much bullying, I would definitely do it. Try keep them separated but in sight introduce them slowly and they'll be fine. Good luck

    Not eating pellets

    Hi all one of my chicken has gone off her regular food layers pellets, her comb is falling slightly to the side which I think indicates sickness or lacking protein. She will still eat pasta, porridge, grapes, bread soaked in milk the usual things I give her as a treat. She still seems to be...
