Hi there!!

[PookieMavis]

Hi, I'm new so thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. We've had ex-bats for a couple of years, we're down to two at the moment but hoping to get some more soon. I'm also mummy to Pookie and Mavis, two booted bantams.

Our family also includes a chocolate lab and ginger cat.

I look forward to getting to know folk. I've got some fabulous advice from other people's posts in the past so am looking forward to no longer lurking in the shadows!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! How nice that you offer battery hens a new home!

 

[PookieMavis]

Thanks for the warm welcome The ex bats (Hazel and Cinnamon) are lovely, considering what rubbish starts battery hens have, they have so much love to give and are so friendly!

Welcome to the site. I see you're also from the UK.

TwoCrows linked to the ex-bat thread (thanks for that, I'll have to give that a look through myself, as I'm interested in having a couple ex-bats in my flock.)

I'll link you to this UK thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/74004/england-uk

Hope you enjoy yourself here.
