transition chickens

transitioners, and friends, ruth and nir have done a wonderful thing and given a home to these three ex- battery girls:

ruth has sent these photos showing their rather dramatic transformaion ( or transition ) to magnificent creatures of egg-laying beauty



''the boss is marigold, and the other two are called Dora (the explorer--and erstwhile escapee from the garden, which is now pretty much chicken-proof!) and Molly (the most timid at first, but now a rabid slug-eating fiend).

We got them from the Battery Hen Welfare Trust. They don't charge for the ex-batts, just ask a donation towards their running costs. We've found them to be really excellent.''
