Sadly Isabella (one of our three ex-battery hens) died this week. The vet diagnosed peritonitis and unfortunately she did not respond to treatment (Baytril antibiotic). We can take some solace in the fact that she had enjoyed more than a year of freedom after spending her first year or so in a battery farm cage.

Poor Isabella. At least she had a year of freedom, more than what she ever had copped up in a cage!
Thanks for the comment Sarah. She definitely seemed to have a happy year in their large run. Also, thankfully she didn’t appear to be ill for very long.
