Chicken run

We waited in line on a cold Saturday morning outside a detached house in a nice part of central Norwich. We had decided to re-home 8 of them. Emaciated and in various stages of feathering the eight chickens were experiencing the first few hours of freedom having been cooped up just 4 hours earlier in a battery farm. We loaded them into cardboard boxes and took them home. Once home they are timid and confused. They do not eat and spend most of their time huddled together. I wonder how long those supressed instincts to scratch and perch will remain hidden. On a brighter note I see that M&S is only selling products made with free range eggs..

Well done M&S!
