Rescue Hens

[Rens Rescue]

Rescue Chickens​

I run an animal rescue in East Yorkshire called Ren's Rescue, taking in wild, domestic and farm animals. By far and away the largest group of animals we help every year are chickens
To date, we've saved over 800 from being culled as they reach the age the industry demands they die (15-18 months). When we rehome them I often point people to this site as a brilliant information source on their care.
It would be great if you could help these lovely ladies by promoting the idea of taking in rescue hens. They so deserve a chance of seeing the sunshine and snow, of walking on solid ground rather than wire, and of having a right proper sand bath.
I've just rehomed our last 40 and am hen-less at the moment and feeling bereft

Would love to.You are doing such great work as not many people think about the livestock and more about dogs and cats.( not that I don’t like dogs and cats)

Welcome to BYC!
I've always wanted to get a rescue pet... It's a shame we've ran out of free space in the run. Maybe I still can someday

Just curious, and I have some questions for you :
I suppose most hens are laying hybrids from farms or are there rescues from backyards too?
Do you get cockerels and roosters too ? And do you get the farm chickens for free of fo you have to buy them?

Hello, Ren, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
If I knew how to get a hold of some, I would rescue when I had space in my flock to do so. I LOVE the idea of rescue. Every single one of my house pets has been rescued. I've never purchased a puppy or kitten.
