I am getting ex-batteries next week but I am also getting Brahma chicks next week, I will have an area closed off for new ex-battery hens from the local factory farm. Also, I have roos, and that's because the farmers treat them like trash and they said to take some. But I will get the ex-batteries and the Brahmas on the same day! Also, I know the guy who breeds Brahmas, and he is good, he doesn't kill them unless it's a humane euthanasia after a severe injury, and only breeds for people he knows/screens and makes them sign a contract saying that the Brahmas won't be used as meat birds.
