I would join but I don't have ex batts. I'm not sure what conditions mine were being kept in before I"m got them, though. They all had clipped beaks, one of them didn't have a tail, and they all looked quite scruffy. Not sure if it counts as rescuing, though.

I'll see if I can find some older pics. They all look much better now.

These are all really bad pics of them in their tiny terrible coop. Couldn't get better pics of them. We have a new coop now.

Here they are now.... (several months later)

The one in the top left had no tail when we got her. She still has the worst clipped beak, but it is improving. The one in the top right is molting, so looks a bit funny.

Yay! How long did it take them to recover for you? I kinda wish I got some white hens...love her big floppy comb! They are looking lovely!

It took about two weeks for them to grow out of all their scruffiness, about a month for them to stop being terrified of me. Their beaks are still growing back, slowly but surely. Round Chicken (named because she was very circle shaped when she didn't have a tail) only got her tail back about a month ago. None of them laid for about 2 months after we got them, but now we get 3 eggs daily.

Does chickens as shoulder pads qualify for snuggly?

Awwwww! She looks a lot like mine... do you know what breed yours are?

BHWT say on their web site they are all Rhode Island Red crosses such as Lohman Browns, Goldlines, Hylines or Isa’s - beyond that I have no idea!

Sounds like a rescue to me!

Huh... mine are very different! Laid eggs from the first day but don't want to grow back beaks or wing/tail feathers.... lol. They are still a bit iffy about me now and I've had them for about 2 months
