Battery Hen Rescue

We have rescued 80 ex-battery chickens this week, taking our total for the year to over 400. These poor girls live an awful life, in extremely cramped cages, each hen has no more space than an A4 piece of paper.

The flock is usually sent for slaughter at 12 to 18 months and replaced with new hens to keep egg production as high as possible. We rescue some from slaughter and find them life-long loving home.

If you can offer 2 or more hens a home, please get in touch while we have some and give a hen a happy home for Christmas.

Another hen rescue

We have waited a long time to do another hen rescue but this weekend we have secured a retirement for 80 ex bats. have now collected the ladies and hope to get them into their new homes as soon as possible. We will be ringing people that are currently on our waiting list for hens.

The picture shows a little ex bat that recently came in with a broken leg. It was the first time she spent in the sunshine after spending several days in a harness and hospital cage. She is now being introduced to the resident flock. Despite a slight limp she is doing really well and tonight when it was dusk I found her snuggled up with Rocky the pig.

Battery Hen Rescue – The Hens Arrive

Jon — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 16:42:16 +0000

Today we rescued another 100 battery hens. We had hoped to rescue at least 200 however we have been limited, thankfully because they have homes.

Battery hens, just like free range hens are set for slaughter at only 18 months old, the 100 we have taken on have been spared being turned into pet food, they will be rehomed and with live the rest of their natural life.

If you are on our waiting list, please be patient as we catch up with the home checks.
