We are trying to find homes for ex-commercial hens who are being released that would otherwise be slaughtered. Commercial laying chicken are slaughtered after only 72 weeks but as the hens are young, they continue to lay eggs for years after their release and make fantastic pets. Fresh Start for Hens rehome hens to a diverse range of individuals wanting hens as pets or companion animals. Hens have begun their new lives in town, city and country gardens, allotments, schools and residential care homes. You don’t need to have a big garden to keep a few hens, they will be grateful for the additional years of freedom you can offer them and reward you with their entertaining antics and probably an egg or two. If you are interested in giving these lovely ladies a home, please go to www.fsfh.org.uk to reserve them. We ask for a donation of £2.50 per hen to cover the costs of us buying them from the.
