Head to the website to reserve and help us save these lovely hens.
All rehomed in line with avian influenza protocols.

WOW, what a busy weekend!

WOW, what a busy weekend!
Started with 3200 hens from The Macs Farm on Saturday morning, and finished with 300 gorgeous khaki Campbell ducks on Sunday, which travelled all the way from Cornwall!
We are now taking reservations for our final rehomings of the year, with LOTS of collection points available, including the ever popular Anglesey & Dolgellau, new collection points at Holsworthy and Burford, and a welcome return of Mold and Garstang 🙂
All farms we are rehoming from have already housed their hens, to ensure they are protected against Avian Flu, and we are taking additional precautions at all collection points.
Those collection points that fall into a DEFRA/APHA disease control zone are being moved so they operate outside the zone and within the rules.
Some of the collection points below do not have a set date, but please feel feel to reserve for them and we will open them on demand 🙂
Alfreton – 29th October
Ammanford – 29th October, 5th, 12th November
Andover – 12th November
Anglesey – 19th November
Aylesford – 29th October, 12th November
Barry – 12th November
Basildon – 29th October, 12th November
