Hey, his practices are way way better than some of the others! I say leave him be and give your massages to egg farmers who cage their hens.

Not clicking like to that. If it's not for eating or too end their pain it's still abusive.

It's interesting to note that the really important message in Beekissed writings are often overlooked.
She free ranges. The health problems of even partial free rangers are usually different to those of contained chickens.
Beekissed mentions that you need the right everything; not just a bit of pick and choose what takes youur fancy.
Very roughly, free range chiickens, with the right everything are either very healthy or dead. Sick chickens free ranging don't last long.

There's a big difference between a hen who lives on pasture and a hen who lives in a cage.

You all should be worried about my chickens. (They are raised by a crazy person) they free range every day, but would rather be close to, and poop on me, instead of running around the acreage! “Isn’t that right Jaffar?”

Snakes, NO… Ants on a plane!

A very dumb movie by the way!

Getting used to being out of the run.

23 chickens roost in this coop. I gave it the first proper clean out it's had for some time judging by the state it was in. It took 2 hours. It needs doing again and some repairs to the floor and new roost bars. About half the hens use what passes as a roost bar atm. I didn't take any pictures of before and after because even after it's still pretty disgusting.

There are now seven of the Ex Batts that have accepted me as a good thing and follow be about as I weed. Today I saw three of them fly after a fashion. They all looked a bit shocked that they left the ground.
This one gets on my leg if I sit on the ground.

Twenty three chickens in here?!!!! Is it bigger than it looks Shad? Are you expanding it? I have that many chickens & coop space is much, much larger. ​

These cage farmers sicken me beyond belief.
The farmer who sold these birds used too just give them up too slaughter from the cage but thankfully these incredible people intervened and managed too talk him into letting them be rescued, almost a million of these beauties have been saved.

My little chicks have gone from being terrified and pecking too following me, even mugging me for their food they are becoming so confident.

They jump up at the plate and snatch before I can even put their plate down.
Their fear has already completely gone.

Agatha even settles at my feet while I'm sat on my chair. If these babies only live a few months, it warms my heart they have had some life. They are into everything bless their hearts.

My favourite picture is Agatha looking out of the coop door realising she can now venture outside, a little nervous but ready too discover

Do you think she'll become curious?

Perhaps. We shall see. The desire to be out and free range with the others is very strong.

There is a world of difference between activated charcoal and a bit of burnt wood!
