My chicks & cockeral are off to a new home soon & it's been so hard to arrange a collection day, love them like I never thought I would. They have so much character.

It seems extraordinary that not all hens get this basic attention, especially when you see how quickly they respond to it. In our flock of ten we have two old girls who are now about five years old. They would have been culled long ago in a commercial flock but they are still laying about five eggs a week each for us.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-49479808891097040202013-05-27T08:22:51.080+01:002013-05-27T08:22:51.080+01:00How lovely to see her doing so well, bless :)How lovely to see her doing so well, bless :)Judy Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143303275859311603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-3364416147132356812013-05-27T00:14:26.264+01:002013-05-27T00:14:26.264+01:00Such a change - well done :-) Ex commercial hens ...Such a change - well done :-) Ex commercial hens are always extra special :-)Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-32943462330189358422013-05-27T00:10:03.925+01:002013-05-27T00:10:03.925+01:00What a lovely story and such a happy ending.
