If anyone is interested in adopting ex battery hens please let me know. I am helping a friend to rehome some lovely ladies and they will certainly keep laying eggs for many years still. To good homes only and preferably people willing to take 2 or more.
Just send me a message if u can provide a home for a hen if you dont eat eggs, maybe you can give them to people that do.
Didnt know hens had to eat their old eggs, thats interesting hey. I think that is very interesting actually, but it makes sense. I wouldnt want to eat a chicken period anyway but I know alot of people do. I thought especially if the person in question (say a stubborn family member) refuses to buy free range eggs and chooses to consume eggs (and your a vegan living with a "commercial" hen that lays an egg every 30 hours pretty much) well it would help that situation i think. That is if you can find nutrient and vitamin replacement for the hens if Legry is correct to avoid health problems for the birds.
There is an ebook called something like Domestic Chickens for Dummies.I think that would be a good place to start before thinking about adopting a hen.
AH! OMG! i've been looking online all afternoon for info on adopting an ex-battery hen! Will i have to pay? I'm not keen on paying for a bird if the profits go back the the farm, but if i have to, i will. Have their beaks been cut, and what sort of condition are they in?
Hopefully if i can organise it, i'd love to be able to collect some the day i leave Brisbane and return home (if all else goes to plan). Do you think the birds would be able to handle the 3hr drive? The only chickens i can find in my area are week old chicks. I'd like to give new life to a poor hen, show her sunlight for the first time in her life, let her spread her wings and feel the earth.
i have not had chicken before but would like to adopt 4 girls. We have a large yard and are in the process of building a chicken coop. If there are any available please let me know. And where to collect them from.
if you dont eat eggs, maybe you can give them to people that do.
