The British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT), based at Rose Ash in North Devon, are looking to rehome the birds on Sunday at two locations in the county - but say they cannot save the hens if they do not have homes to go to. The charity is appealing to anyone who has a bit of space in their back garden to consider giving a home to some ex-bats. The Devon sessions take place on Sunday, August 6 at Rose Ash - where 60 chickens need to be rehomed - and Okehampton - where 110 are without homes. All the hens have been working hard for 18 months, laying eggs to be sold in supermarkets or go into processed foods. They have never seen daylight, stood on soft grass nor scratched for bugs and slugs. Gaynor Davies, the charity's Head of Operations, said: "There is no better feeling than watching these girls flourish after they emerge from the commercial system. "They have a full bill of health and will soon become much-loved pets. With a bit of TLC they become incredibly tame, and they're often described as cats and dogs with feathers.

Laceface 2,964 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm sure another farm will be willing to take them. The charity is appealing to anyone who has a bit of space in their back garden to consider giving a home to some ex-bats. Not that simple, unless, of course, you want them to die a far more painful death being mauled by foxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
