Hens wanted for family in Colchester, Essex

We are looking for some girls to grace our garden again, sorry no boys allowed as we live in central Colchester. We would like 4-6 hens ideally.
We have previously kept chickens but the fox got them. We have now made a super fox-proof run and feel ready to get chickens again.
We are willing to travel 20 mile radius (Sudbury, Ipswich, Clacton, etc)
Thanks in advance, Clare.

Mo has provided you with an excellent link there.

Ex-commercial hens aren't for everyone, but if you are interested ex-battery hens are being rehomed on Saturday, 19th July 2014.

Reservation list is open )t'

Thanks, I have thought about rehoming hens actually. We have had rescue hens before but they were very timid and ended up being bullied by our other girls. May try again as this time they will be the only hens.

We have now found 6 hens that needed a forever home. They came from a home where they were well loved but situation changed and their owners could no longer look after them. We are more than happy, as the hens have already settled in and are very friendly.
Thanks for everyone's help!
