I get the rescue battery hens on Saturday, Arch. Two, no more then three. It's entirely possible I could have an egg or two that day, as the birds are straight from the farm that morning. They sometimes lay for a couple of days and then go off laying as all their energy then goes into regrowing feathers, putting on some weight... and once they are fit again, they start to lay. I should get eggs, but from a farming POV, they are 'egged-out' and would have ended up in pet food or low grade chicken products sich as pies had the BHWT not stepped in to rescue some of them.
