Down the Lane

Good morning everyone, just new in the Forum - hope you are all having a lovely sunny day as we do here in Ashford, Kent.
I am looking to rescue some battery hens - I've been keeping chickens for the last 4 years and decided to try and give some unfortunate girls a new life; does anyone know where I could go looking in the Ashford area? Any advice appreciated, thanks

Afternoon Isabella,
Greetings and welcome to The Lane
Not a clue myself but Lord Richard Of The Lane Lives in your neck of the woods and might have some ideas.

Hello and welcome to the lane, am sure you will get some help with this one, and as soon as Lord of the Lane is around he will be sure to point you in the right direction

Hi Isabella

Try Fresh Start For Hens - there's a rescue coming up on 27th sept and they're bound to have a collection point in kent somewhere.

There may be other hen rescue orgs who operate in your area too, maybe even animal rescue places might be worth checking out?

thanks everyone! will let you know how it goes

I have been trying to contact Fresh Start for Hens who I believe have a delivery early in October. My virus scanner tells me that the site is unsafe. I would like to contact them if any body has a phone number.

Thanks

Hi Jackie

That sounds like a false positive on your virus scanner. Mine is showing no problems with the site:

Anyway, reservations for their next rehoming (oct) are closed now, but they do have a facebook site as well and it may be worth contacting them via there in case not everyone makes their donations or even collects their girls
