School flock owner

[MrGaz]

Hi all,

About a month into my second stint as a chicken owner. Previously had a flock of 6 wonderful monsters at home in the backyard. Now I have a flock of 5 ex-battery hens that live at the school that I work at. The children take care of them (I oversee everything) and are gaining a lot from having these wonderful creatures as part of our school family.

Welcome to BYC. I think it's great that you have the children interacting with ex battery hens. So much for them to gain by the experience! Good job.

Welcome! I had to look up what a battery hen was. How sad for these oh-so-wonderful creatures! So glad they were rescued and are enjoying a better life with you and the children at your school!
