Today we picked up four ex-battery hens that would have otherwise been assigned to the pie factory as their egg laying potential had waned.
I thought I was prepared emotionally to see these poor, cruelly treated creatures but what I saw made me cry. They were bald, scruffy, and either shocked or euphoric - I dont know.
The hens are now in bed after a day of scratching around for the first time and will sleep on straw fro the first time.......
