Subscribing to your thread. Very inspiring story and you have done sooooooo well to get to where you are! Its incredible what you have achieved and how you have bounced back. You are a credit and a fine example of what it is to fight back in life. Loved reading your thread so far and I am very jealous of how much you have earned from selling your clothes on Ebay! I can't work it out for the life of me! Keep it up girl!Debt Remaining: £8,781.53

New hens. Please don’t buy barn eggs if you can afford free range (or better still, buy from a local hen owner).
Here is Derren Brown, who is too weak to stand up to eat.
These 4 ex barn hens are in a worse state then our previous ex battery hens.

Oh my goodness the poor hen
I have always had an interest in wanting to give ex battery hens a home but I have no idea where to start. Need to complete on my house before I start tearing up the garden to accommodate them. It's so sad to see them in such a way, not being able to stand
It must be very rewarding for you! Definitely makes you want to spend that little bit more on buying eggs from local farmer.
