Ex battery hens

[Irishjustin]

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

Provide an adequate all flock diet, and you will be amazed at how rapidly their condition improves. Well done.

I've never had Ex-Batts, but here is an article from someone who has: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/getting-caring-for-and-keeping-ex-battery-hens.76219/

Before the new girls arrive, you should address your predator prevention setup. How did the fox manage to get your girls, and what will you undertake to shore up your chicken area before the battery girls arrive? The fox(es) will return to look for additional meals, it's what they do. Best of luck with the battery girls!
