Re: rescued battery hens
Yep, started with 8 [down to 4 neighbours dog had 3 and one just keeled over one day....] they are great fun, took a few days to settle in, love to explore and peck around now. A bit straggly to look at even now, but happy and full of personality. highly recommend doing it. Eggs are good too.

Re: Advice needed.......Nutty 2yr old!!!
Find what motivates her, offer or withdraw it as appropriate.
Give space, notice of expectations/changes etc and most of all BE CONSISTENT.
Heck I dont know, still trying to figure it out and mine are teens !

Re: First brews
OMG, lemonade hooch, brilliant.
I used to love a cold bottle of Mikes Hard Lemonade after a day out climbing or mountain biking when I lived in the states, esp as I dont like beer.
Please PLEASE share the recipe, I NEED to make some !
