Where to find ex- battery hens??

[Melky]

Hi, it’s me Kayla again!
After watching a video that @Brahma Chicken5000 shared...
I was wondering where I could find ex battery hens. I want to help the poor hens have a better quality of life, and be able to be happy hens once again. I really want to help make a difference, where do I get these hens?
Thanks!

Here are a few more I believe in the U.S. from previous BYC post.
I do know there are chicken rescue groups -- try these:

Animal Place
Chicken Run Rescue
Eastern Shore Sanctuary and Education Center
Farm Sanctuary
Sunny Skies Bird and Animal Sanctuary
United Poultry Concerns

So I found an auction in Goodwater, Alabama (much closer to me). They do chicken/chicks/small animals at 7 p.m. every Friday... I’ll check there and see what I can find!

In my state you see ex layers on craigslist. Brown eggs are the market here so will be large flock of red sex links, free or a dollar per bird. It's easy to tell which birds are coming from egg company. They don't use battery term.

I found these on Craigslist, the feathers look terrible!

So it’s auction VS craigslist? I think I’ll go to the auction first and then check back with Craigslist!

Are you familiar with chicken diseases?

I’ve never actually had them happen but I am going to be taking precautions and I’m going to quarantine the new birds.
