Rehome update with new dates announced

Rehome news and an update.

Yesterday saw 2 barns emptied with almost 3400 hens in their new retirement homes.
This is a special little girl who was found when the Aylesford team unloaded the hens from the crates. This is known as a cross beak or as the volunteers call them a “wonky hen” (they are very popular amongst the farm team who spot them). This will have happened as a result of a birth defect, she has survived 18 months already and will continue to thrive.

A couple of more dates have been announced on the website including a few collection points that have not been open for a little while. More collection points are due to be added this week.

New rehome dates are now live for reservations on the website www.freshstartforhens.co.uk with the following collection points open;
