Strange Exbatt

Ive just posted on the "chat" board that yesterday I visited a smallholding to buy some free range eggs. When I went down to meet her girls, to my joy and amazement, many of them were exbatts. Ive always wanted to do my bit for these poor creatures, so when I start my flock again, Im going to get some and give them a fantastic life. Ill have 2 flocks, one exbatts and one new hens. Her girls lay everyday still, and judging by the eggs I bought from her they are laying wonderful eggs.
Im feeling quite excited that I can at last do my bit as the place she got her girls from is not far from where we live.

I'll second that!

My oldest ex-batt, Dixie Lee, has now been with me for 2 years 5 months, my second oldest 1 year 5 months - Afro has never laid an egg in her/his life (the jury is still out on the sex, 1 vet thought male, another thought hermaphrodite  :blink: ), so has been extremely lucky!

I also bought some POL last year but wouldn't be without my ex-batts for quids, they're really special - enjoy, NormandyMary!
