THE BATTERY HEN
Sir,-It was indeed pleasing to read that "Sundowner" was very much against the modern battery way of keeping hens..I saw six fowls in a battery in a London back garden, and as I went on my travels my mind kept thinking of these poor wretches and comparing them with my own flock in New Zealand which were comfortably housed with a run for further freedom. There was room in the London garden for such a house and run, but they evidently preferred the cheaper way of putting up a set of batteries. I am hoping that freedom-loving New Zealanders will not take up with this new-fangled way of keeping hens.
