We're passionate about hens and that extends to hens that have spent their early years as part of the commercial egg laying industry.  We believe that they should get an opportunity to have a happy retirement in a forever home. 

We also believe that owning and re-homing these ex-commercial hens can be incredibly rewarding - with many of our own flock over the years having been ex-commercial hens that have been rescued.  Just seeing these girls go from an often barely feathered state to the most confident, characterful, and gorgeous looking birds is reward itself.  

We work with Fresh Start for Hens as one of their Collection Points (Hertford) and regularly run rehoming days (on average once a month) where we receive up to a few hundred hens which are then given a well earned rest prior to our re-homers coming to pick up their girls.    

You also get the added benefit of a pretty regular supply of fresh eggs which always seem to taste soooo much better than shop bought eggs!!  

In addition, sometimes our customers' circumstances change and they are unable to look after their flock any more.  We have a large number of regulars who will often have capacity to take on an additional hen or two
