They look in good condition & well feathered - have you had them long ? I would love to give an ex batt a home but I only really have room for 1 more hen and generally they seem to want you to take more on. I am envious - best of luck with Audrey & Mable!

wow they are in good condition. Their combs will soon firm up and shrink a little bit as they will not be kept in a heated house.
Welcome to freedom Audrey and Mable  :D

I've had them for nearly a week now. They seem to be getting on with the other chooks but still a bit of pecking going on but that's as to be expected.

They have been eating out of my hand already and they are loving lots of fuss and attention.

I'm sure they are starting to look better already!  :D

Your girls look lovely!  And I am sure loving every moment of their new found freedom.  Well done.
