I don't know if this is the right forum, you may want one of the mods to move this to everything else chicken or something. Maybe then other ppl will be able to help....have you tried searching??? I don't know where to even start....

When you get them home they look like this.

they don't know how to feed off the ground, they lay where they are standing, you have to put them to bed at night, they have no depth percetion and fall off things..and they feel greasy and stink.

Love em.

After a few months they look like this...so happy, free, sunning themselves.

get them and enjoy them, they reward you with affection and eggs.

good job.. what a difference. I dont think we have any battery places around here. Pensacola. I would totally get hens from that.. It is like going to the pound for a dog. They really turned into some beautiful birds! WELL DONE!

they look so terrible...it's so sad. I hope you find the places you're looking for!!!

I know. I cant believe that people would treat them like that. No I havent found any where to get a laying hen.
