Collection Points
We operate a large network of collection points throughout England and Wales. This allows us to rehome directly from the farm to our rehomers via a wide range of locations.
We are constantly adding to this number as more volunteers join us to give a Fresh Start to commercially farmed hens and ducks.
Our upcoming dates are:
26th July – 1800 Caged hens – Reservations closed!
2nd August – 3700 barn hens – Reservations open!
9th August – 2200 free range hens – coming soon
