Got us some ex commercial hens. <3

No time like the present. I know it looks dull at the moment, but that's just the UK factor.

I can't believe these photos are just two weeks apart...

It looks like two different birds.

You have done a really great job with the beak!

Thank you! And just look at the difference in her face, feathers and everything, I didn't even realize - now I want to cry!

First photo - she looks as if she is struggling hard to be healthy, second photo - she is blooming! What lovely progress!

Thank you, I am crying again looking at the photos. I mean, I didn't really DO anything and still this is the difference.
I will never buy another commercial egg in a shop ever.

Sweet girl! This reminded me of the fast progress I got to see in my bantam boy when he first began visiting my yard. The photos in the left column are Day 1, right column were after one week of getting steady nutrition:

Just been up to see the pheasants and then the hens.

Treat of the day was beansprouts and blueberries, and we had two groups of hotel guests come past while I was working with Beaky. They are all such great ambassadors.
One family had four children and they all got to stroke a hen. The birds don't seem to mind too much and I really do think it's important for kids to see and feel an animal.
