Ex-battery hen living her best life - going surfing, camping and getting blowdries
- 12 days ago
An ex-battery hen is living her best life after being rescued - and now goes surfing, on camping trips and loves having her feathers blowdried.
Wendy, an isa brown chicken, moved in with Lauren Williams, 43, and her husband, Matt, 44, a nurse, in February 2022 and has been treated like a princess ever since.
The couple got the hen from a contact who rescues battery hens before they are slaughtered and Wendy arrived with a damaged leg and no tail.
But she is now ruling the roost at Lauren and Matt's home in Perth, Australia - where she hops to the fridge when she fancies being handfed blueberries or grapes.
Wendy lives indoors with the pair and they take her out on day trips - carrying her around in a sling or pushing her in a pram if the weather's hot.
