what a pleasure it has been. 7 days ago I took 3 ex battery's hens and saved them from slaughter... they were terrified and we very weak. now they are living the life of Riley! dust bathing, sun bathing, scratching about.

She looks so much better! But did you just put her in your coop with the others? She should have been quarantined first.

they were separated for a week xxx

Your birds look fine, but just so you know, you should quarantine for two weeks then introduce over a one week period. Either way, it is a wonderful thing that you are taking the time to help this hen!

takes a special person to take such a wonderful positive story and put a negative spin on it!

All I did was give you advice. I'm sorry that you took it the wrong way. I should have found a politer way to phrase that. I said she was doing a lot better and complimented you on the fact that you had rescued her. We all make mistakes sometimes, I just wanted to make sure you don't do it again. I made the same mistake with one of my roosters. I'm just saying it is important to quarantine, especially when a bird comes from such deplorable conditions as a factory farm. Good job so far with your hen, do you have any updates?
