GOOD FOR YOU! You are a blessing to these dear chickens. I bet they will flourish under your care. Please do keep us updated on their progress.

I'm in the UK and I got them from a charity called the Little Hen Rescue http://littlehenrescue.co.uk/default.aspx this is their website.
They are based in the south east; norfolk and cambridgeshire I think.

There is a national group that do a similar thing though, just type chicken adoption into google.

Thanks for the support guys!

This is so wonderful to see! I'll bet they'll be looking like brand new birds given some time to recuperate and behave like normal hens. They're going to be so beautiful and happy! It makes me so sad, the conditions under which battery hens are kept...

Kudos to you for taking them in and giving them a whole new happy life!

Lovely Birds

their breed is: "I am so fortunate to be rescued by Jessie"

Do keep us posted with their progress and pictures. They are now on their way to a lovely and safe life.

Interesting that their beaks don't look like the cut-off stumps they show in the bleeding heart commercials....
Things are looking up for your girlies!
