Rehome a Hen!

Ever fancied a couple of chooks scratching about the back garden? Do you have an omni or vegetarian partner who'd love the idea of the odd fresh egg from a truly free-range hen? Or would your parents fancy a few to indulge their dream of a small-holding? Well now is the perfect time to get one! BunnyHuggers.org recently alerted me to the fact that there are 10,000 chickens needing rehomed from a battery farm that is closing down in Norfolk. They need rehoming before the 28th June or the remainder will be slaughtered - an outcome that it would be brilliant to avoid if possible!!!
If you or anyone you know might be interested, then please email littlehenrescue at googlemail.com. And if it's not for you - pass the word on!

I love birds of all kinds and would love to have a sweet hen of my own. Unfortunately I live all the way in Bahrain! I hope they all find happy wonderful homes.

I would so love to have chooks one day....when I have a bigger garden.

I am another one of those potential adoptive hen-mommas, but the next-door neighbour from hell and SVD's natural reticence when it comes to animals of any kind usually caps my ambitions!! I couldn't resist posting this, though, as any publicity is good publicity for this sort of thing!!
