Hens, glorious hens

My family are now the proud owner of 14 extra fabulous, glorious ex-battery hens - slightly bald in places (oven ready as some people indelicately describe them), but wonderful none the less! We've had them for almost 2 weeks and they started laying from day 1. At the moment they seem to be taking it in turns so that we're not oversupplied but I know that given a few degrees increase in temperature, some blue skies and more daylight they'll all begin to lay with gusto!
