Homes needed for ex battery hens in Gloucestershire. If you can help or if you can put the word out in that area please do.

A brown formery battery hen sits beside a large sleeping labrador-type dog on a dog bed indoors. The hen is missing some feathers, leaving her wing and tail looking sparse.

A trust is hoping to find homes for hundreds of former battery hens which otherwise face slaughter.

I'm not near that way but we have had many hens from the BHWT in the past. Fabulous companions, if you have been thinking about keeping chickens then this is such a worthwhile charity to get them from 😊

We are getting four next Saturday. It's the most rewarding thing we've ever done. It's crazy how they become such important members of the family.

Fresh Start for Hens are looking for homes for 3000 hens on 26th July. Lots of pick up points.

Chickens are wonderful. I've had many in the past but have unfortunately no space in my current garden. Hope some more of these can be rehomed
