Ex-battery hens coming home to roost a month early


I’ve received word that our ex-battery hens are going to be ready for collection this coming Saturday, four weeks ahead of schedule. We will likely not only have our own four to look after for a while, but another four set aside for have friends who are dealing with a family crisis right now and haven’t got the time to undertake their planned shed conversion for the birds, so they can’t pick up their four on this occasion. They’re on course to pick them up from another batch scheduled for release to the Battery Hen Welfare Trust at the end of March.

We don’t mind looking after eight at all, but both My beloved and I are very concerned for our friends, and for their family member who is in intensive care. I can’t go into details for reasons that should be obvious. We have a great deal of respect and love for our friends, and what’s important is they know they have rock-solid support available whenever they need to call upon it. I only wish we could do more.
