I've been contacted by Manor Farm Woodcraft who make wooden poultry housing, rabbit hutches etc. There's been quite an upsurge in people taking on ex-battery hens so they're offering a discount on their standard ark for people taking on ex-battery hens

More info on their website: http://www.manorfarmwoodcraft.co.uk/ark.php

thats very nice of them  

[Foxy]

Thats a good offer!!   Good solid looking houses if a bit pricey but I guess you get what you pay for and they look built to last. Good to get them with wheels but you could also dismantle a sack truck from BandQ (and complete with bearings) we bought one on offer for £14.00 last year and just made a long axle for the wheels to fit the width of one of our henhouses.

There's a bloke on the River Cottage forum who wants to rescue ex battery chooks, but he doesn't need a poultry house he just needs an oven!!!!!!



He thought he would be giving them a better life if he rescues them, lets them live a nice life for 6 months, humanely dispatches them and then eats them!!!!!


To top it all, another stupid member agreed with him that they felt he was doing his bit to help the ex batts!!!!!!

World gone mad!!!!!!
