A fully feathered, confident hen!
In early September, we welcomed a group of ex-battery hens to our flock. They were leaving behind a life in cages, and needed to adjust to free-range life! Just over a month on, they have put on muscle weight, grown bright new feathers and are filled with confidence. We look forward to introducing them to the rest of our flock in due time, but are thrilled with the girls’ progress so far.
