Hen re-homing this Saturday

I work for the British Hen Welfare Trust which re-homes over 60,000 ex-commercial hens every year.

The majority of these hens have spent their lives in cages, laying eggs day in day out to be sold i supermarkets or put into processed foods. At 18 months old their egg laying begins to slow down so they are sent to slaughter.

That is, unless the BHWT steps in and saves them from their fate. Instead, we take them to one of 40 pop up re-homing points around the UK where people will come to re-home them.

We are holding a re-homing in Nantwich this Saturday, 16th December, but still have 40 hens without homes to go to...
