New December collection points
2500 hens have secured their forever homes for this weekend and the final touches are being made.
When the opportunity came up to rehome another 1800 hens from a barn farm we grabbed it with both hands! Now we need your help!
The following collection points have now been added:
Andover
Anglesey
Burton on Trent
Darlington
Dolgellau
Eastleigh
Leyburn
Newcastle
Newton Abbot
Penkridge
Petersfield
Reading
Scunthorpe
Sunderland
Sutton coldfield
Wareham
Weston-super-Mare
If you can offer a home to some hens visit the “register” form on the website.
There are more collection points already open on the 5th December and again on the 12th December with good national coverage.
November & December rehome dates
We have 3 rescue dates, 28th November and 5th & 12th December.
Multiple collection points are available throughout England & Wales.
We have around 5,000 hens yet to be reserved for these dates, that’s a LOT of hens that need help!
We’re operating to a COVID secure cluck & collect model and currently have APHA written permission to continue; we’ve ensured that we’re “above board” from both COVID & AI perspectives.
2020 has been a pretty rubbish year for most of us; what better way to see it out than by saving a few precious lives…and maybe getting some of the best eggs ever into the bargain?
