Limousin Lass Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 No sure where to post this but hope this is the right place.I am hoping that come the spring we will be ready to have some chickens, does anybody know if there an organisation like the UK that re-homes ex battery hens?ThanksSylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I found this association who seem to be doing it. If I find any more I'll post themhttp://lamalapa.canalblog.com/archives/autres_animaux_a_l_adoption/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limousin Lass Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thank you all for your replies and links.I haven't yet been able to do anything due to OH's accident we have had to put back our plans for a while. It is something I will definately follow up when the chicken house is finished and the fencing is up.Celestine, I would be very interested to hear how you get on and I am sure there may be other kindly folks on this forum who would have some of these poor chickens, it just takes someone to get the ball rolling. Good luck.Sylvia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 HiI too would be interested in giving a home to ex battery hens but really don't know where to start. We have a lovely big shed ready and an orchard so plenty of room for hens. I have tried the link above but can't seem to get anything from it. Any more ideas would be very appreciated.regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigears Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 hiDon't forget it costs good money to run battery hens, better to get the other sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Do you mean there's a charge? I thought it was chicken feed to run 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Little tip,,,use the copper coloured type for the battery hens. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The rechargeable ones are a little more economical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
