Just an amendment - it is no longer North London Hen Rescue - were renamed Hen Rehomers UK several months ago. Website is still www.henrehomers.net.

Our next rescue is late August / early September.

Hi all,

Yesterday I had 4 ex battery hens and am having a further 2 today from a lovely couple, Chad & Sarah. They have recently rescued a large no of ex bats from slaughter and are looking to re-home them to loving owners NOT consumers! They are just £4 each to cover the costs of upkeep etc, they are red warrens and the ones I had were not de-beaked. Their phone number (I have their permission to share it on here) is 07929936147. I have had 2 eggs off them already by the way, yum!

Hi, just an update - Hen Rehomers UK are holding another rehoming session on SATURDAY 10TH OCTOBER 2009. We will have around 2,800 hens to rehome. If you are interested please complete an application form on our website www.henrehomers.net.

Please visit our website and check out the site anyway.

There is a minimum donation of £1.50 for each hen, but I must assure everyone we are a not-for-profit voluntary organisation, this donation not only secures the lives of these hens but pays for the transportation to the many collection points throughout the country.

We hope to get all hens rehomed into loving permanent homes.

Thank You!

I can certainly vouch for how good a pet some ex-batts are. They are very friendly and dont mind the odd cuddle, plus they will start to earn their own keep by giving you eggs. Ive had mine (3) a year now and they are still giving me about 2 eggs a day. Lovely!
