Arrow, so called because she looks like she’s carrying a basket of arrows on account of her feather-bare tail, came out of her cage midway through September.
Ruffles is an ex-free range hen who was saved from slaughter at the end of January. We’ve named her Ruffles on account of her bald neck, which we hope will soon be covered in lovely, glossy feathers.
