...Was once a commercial egg producing hen and as you can see she was in a pretty poor state when she first came home to roost, without the aid of a charity she would've been sent to slaughter aged just 17 months. Now she lives in comfort with us and mullers my garden with her 9 friends, 4 ex battery hens like her and 5 hybrid hens. My garden will never be the same again but the feeling I get when I watch her and the other four rescued hens is well worth a ruined garden (plus we are lucky enough to be able to fence off an area for the hens so we can still have a nice garden to sit in and enjoy).
