Hi

I am brand new here and very excited about my hen house that will soon be arriving. All I need now is some hens!

Can anyone tell me where I can get some ex battery hens locally? I live in Bridgnorth in Shropshire.

Thanks

Toni

Hi and welcome, you could try a local egg producer?
check your local yellow pages

Hi - regarding ex-battery hens. There are a few places you can try.

I am involved with North London Hen Rescue. Please check out the website North London Hen Rescue.

There is also Battery Hen Welfare Trust you can contact or another organisation called 'Free at Last'. Both of these also have websites you can google.

You may have to go onto a waiting list, but let me assure you it is all worth the wait.

Our next rescue is planned for October. Details will appear on the website.

Contact Jane at BHWT - Battery Hen Wefare Trust. Have a look at the website
They will help you out.

I too will be getting my hen house soon and homing some ex battery hens - can't wait.
Best of luck

Hi

I contacted the BHWT and have a lady to speak to today. The next re homing is this month and my hen house will arrive at the end of the month so I am hoping the timing is right for both to come together.

I dont think I can wait any longer as I am so excited, its taken me a year to get my hubby to agree to have the hens!!

Toni

Well done Badger - best of luck and Im sure you will have some VERY happy hens soon.
