Battery Hen Thread!

[Johnn]

After they've been debeaked can their beaks grow back?

Most of mine haven't, but a few do. They never go back sharp, but they do level with the bottom beak. I have noticed that they have stopped cutting them as much now.

Yous should watch this. The flock used in it are ex batts

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Our 3 year old (approx) ex batts. Only recently dropped to an egg a day between them. The third is our one year old jersey giant, but we got fooled as she has a double comb and too small to be a jersey giant I reckon.

I am in WA state and interested in possibly taking in a few ex-batteries should the need arise.

I believe Wilcox farm in Roy sells their old hens for a couple of bucks. You can call and ask them. I think they are mostly Red sex links.
