ANNOUNCEMENT

Hen Rehomers UK are pleased to announce a change of name to FRESH START FOR HENS. This name change has come about for a number of reasons - mainly the confusion as to who Henry is! We are hoping to continue our work in rehoming ex-battery hens by increasing the number of collection points we have th...

Re: URGENT ADVICE NEEDED PLEASE

Gravely worried now. She suggested mixing warm water with the guard staff and use a syringe. I came home at 12pm and gave her 5 syringes. This was repeated at 5pm and I have just given her two plus one syringe of warm mash. She has no appetite. Her front check has a warm bulge which i guess is her ...

Re: My girls are here yay

Hiya,

We wont take any notice of your garden, we like to see the chookies.

It has been nearly two years since we built our run and our garden is still a tip! :oops:

Your droopy girl will perk up soon enough, you could offer her some natural yoghurt with olive oil mixed in.

Re: My girls are here yay

Hiya Casnz10, There were two open top transits taking hens to their destinations. Mine was one. We could not predict the weather for that day, but this would not have affected the hens in their health. The main issue is with the heat. We knew we were taking a large number of hens to two different lo...
