We are always looking for permanent homes for rescued hens.

We rescue laying hens just before they would otherwise be slaughtered. They are slaughtered after one year in lay, when their production drops from 6 eggs per week to 5, so they are still young birds and laying well in family terms, even though they are regarded as not commercially viable.

They make very friendly, engaging pets and are no harder to look after than rabbits. We have co-ordination points around the country where you can collect your hens. We charge £1 per hen as a contribution to the rescue costs. (No profit is made!)

We only rescue hens when we have enough homes available to make this viable - we are currently expecting to rescue in middle and end of July, and October.
