I got mine from a farmer who was getting out of the poultry business,,I have heard that most egg farmers will just give away hens when they are not in their prime

How horrible that they cut off so much of their beaks. It should be against the law. I'm so glad people are rescueing the poor hens from a life of pure haddes. Now they think they wound up in heaven.

So glad they are doing well and checking everything out, it won't be long and they will be like normal chickens. It took mine a few weeks to really acclimate to foraging, roosting, and snacks. But now you would never know (except for their beaks) that they were ex bats!

I'd love to see a picture of them in a few weeks time and see how much better they will look. Hope you will keep us updated on their recovery!

Hey guys! I got some for ya! See my BST thread for more info. Compared to my show birds and broody hens, these girls are in pretty bad shape, but time and love will take care of it. I don't want anything for them; I just wanted to save them from starvation in the manure pits of the coop where all their "sisters" had been taken away for processing.
