About us
We started our journey with battery hens, when we found a lone hen who had escaped from a local farm whilst they were catching hens for slaughter. She had managed to get free and find us. Our Maisy was a very happy addition to our family. When Maisy passed on we looked to help other battery hens, realising what joy they can bring to our lives. After contacting Hen Rehomers to get our own ex battery hens I ended up helping at the farm.
This is where Little Hen Rescue started. Little Hen's name came from a special hen we pulled from a top cage, we've since collected and rehomed thousands more.
I believe that not enough people realise that battery/barn/free-range hens can be saved, and hope that starting this small rescue and working alongside others we can make a big difference to some small lives.
Since Little Hen's has poultry on site all year round now, we are evolving into an educational farm offering placements where possible to students and term time day placements for students with special needs. We hope in the future we can offer a 5 day week placement and with a certification system where the students with special needs will learn working life skills in a farm environment.
Our rescue takes all types of poultry. If you know of any birds in need of help please contact us through our >> Contact us << page
