Rehoming more ex batts ?
« on: October 06, 2011, 19:58 »
There are some ex batts to be re homed in Cornwall (where I live).  I took on 5 a couple of years ago of which I have 3 left and I also have 10 more of different breeds.
The thing is I feel I've got a lot already but I can fit more into my chicken house (it takes 20 - 24 hens) but they've pecked their bit of garden bare.  Their run is about 8m x 8m.
I know I cant save all of them but I'd be glad of abit of advice on wether I should take on more or just stick with what I've got.  How many is too many?

I'm a sucker for ex-bats, having started with 6 a couple of years ago, so I'd say if you've got room for more then give a few more a chance at being chickens.

However, don't forget they'll probably need to be kept separate from your other birds to start with and introduced gradually to lessen fighting. Have you got a small temporary house & run so you can do that?

Good luck.
