We are running a not- for - profit organisation that rescues battery,

barn hens and  sometimes other poultry.  Everything at beginning was funded by myself.  All our catchers and helpers come on a voluntary basis.

                 

 

 We rely completely on donations from the public.

 

We are currently using a small holding as our base for Little Hen Rescue, thanks to everyones help it is now is able to hold in all 2500 hens safely over night.  This is open to the public on named days.  

 

 

 

OUR NEW APPEAL to help us pay the bills, medical supplies and a new hospital wing!

 

We are currently raising money to help towards our high vets bills and new hospital wing!  We need 2-3 stables to become a new hospital, treatment room, and bald hen area (heat lamps, warmth).

 

 

Help is buy our feed and medical bills of the injured, bald, ill and recovering hens.


 

We always rehome healthy hens so we have a lot of hens that need care at LHR, who become our resident and sponsor hens. 

 

 

Can you help us in other ways too!!!

 


What we need!

 

- Field shelters - posts/wood/corragated tin for roofing.

 

- Volunteers to help with rehoming days or helping us build shelters, paint, clean, egg collecting, mucking out, and treating hens

 

- 2 tonne feed a week. 

 

You could help by donating even the smallest amount!!

 

£3 - Buys nail clippers

 

£4 - Bale of straw

 

£7 - Bag of layers mash

 

 



Your Donations so far....

 

May, June and July Rescue and Donations

 

Thank you all for your donations for hens, with them we have bought a golf buggy to help us up and down the fields with bags of food.  A real back saver!  

 

We now have more sheds, medical cupboard, medical supplies, and more pens in hospital wing.

 

 

April's Rescue and Donations

 

Thank you to all that donated via website and to those that rehomed hens and gave us a donation, with your donations we have raised enough money for 250 metre enclosure at LHR.  It is up and built and already housed 6000 he

ns over the last 4 weeks.  This is a godsend to LHR as space was running out due to having our resident sponsor hens (100) and the bald hens that are busily dustbathing in the stables whilst their feathers grow back.

 

We will continue to build more as we re-home more hens, all donations will be put towards our fencing fund! 



 

 

December 18th Rescue and Donations

 

We have raised enough money for 112 Metre enclosure for our girls, thank you to everyone that rehomed our last lot of hens the donations you gave us for the hens has given us a safe place for another 500 hens!  We decided to get the 6ft chain link fencing as it is  more permanent, I will add photos once its all finished! Being erected 12/13th January.

 

We will continue to build more as we re-home more hens, all donations will be put towards our fencing fund!
