hello from North London Hen Rescue - rescuing 26 July

Post: # 114756Post henrescue »

Hello. Just registered here so hello from me, Carly, and us, North London Hen Rescue We are an independent group of hen enthusiasts working around the country (North London a bit of a misnomer, really), rehoming ex-battery hens (and occasionally other commercial hens).
Our next rescue is on 26-27 July and we're about to close our books to new applications, so if you are interested in getting some ex-batts from us, please check out our website http://www.northlondonhenrescue.org.uk, and use the application form (under "adopting hens") if you would like to rehome some deserving, egg-laying and adorable chickens who would otherwise be dogmeat.
Best wishes all!xxxx Carly

Collecting mine today from Burton on Trent. Can't wait! These are going to be very spoilt hens - I've spent my entire month's savings on new food & stuff for them! OH is building a funky new run but they will be free-range as much as they like too :mrgreen:

Got my hens on Sunday. They are still nervous but all three ventured out of the house for the first time today. I've already had two eggs! I hope the feathers grow back soon- poor things. Fortunately, they have plenty of shade in their run though so that they don't get burnt.

Thank you so much for organising the rescue.

Zoe
