Introducing the ladies.







Well today we have 4 new additions to the family and what comical additions they are!






I went and helped a charity that rescues and rehomes exbatt hens. 3000 in total where taken from their cramped cages and moved on to new homes :) Now thats got to be better than ending up as dog or cat food eh!






What I found really funny was the fact in the barns where the hens are kept in cages there are "ghost" hens. Now of course they are not real ghosts but hens that have escaped from their cages and cannot be caught! As soon as you get near them they scarper under machinary and are un catchable! Just reminded me of the film Chicken Run.






The people that help out the charity are a right old mix from all walks of life which made it fun!






Anyway the ladies are home and settling into their new run and sorting out the pecking order and I had my first egg on the drive home as well which is great :)
