Sponsor a Resident!
Occasionally we rescue hens that aren't able to adapt to their new world as quickly as the others, these numbers are low, but it happens. This may be due to the stress incurred during their life in the battery farm. Others have injuries such as sprained legs or wings. Some need a little physiotherapy on their legs to teach them to walk and use their muscles again. We keep these hens until fully recovered, we get them the treatment they need, we feed, care and house them until they are strong enough to be re-homed.
Would you like to sponsor a hen, cockerel or turkey? It would make a great present for a child's birthday or a Little Hen Rescue fan.
For £15 a hen a year or £20 for a turkey, the lucky sponsor would receive;

Scrags
Scrags is another hen who was pulled from the cages of a battery farm and she originally looked OK. We later discovered her laying on the floor of the chicken hut, thin and too weak to stand. Scrags was unable to figure out how to drink from a normal bowl, she had been used to a different form of drinker and had become so stuck in her ways she would rather dehydrate than be brave enough to try it. After isolation, regularly dipping her beak into water and feeding strength building food, she stood and walked. She suffers with an arthritic right leg, and walks with a limp. She has happily found herself a little hutch that she calls her own.

George and his wives
George originally came from another rescue that had to many stags, we needed a nice gentleman for our rescued hen turkeys.
Our hen turkeys were rescued from a farm where they didn't make the size, this means that they were the smaller turkeys of the flock and when weighed they were under the expected weight margin.
Usually when this happens they are distroyed to save wasting food on turkeys that aren't going to make the end weight. Instead we take them.

Lily
This is Lily, again a rescued battery hen that was extremely nervous. As you can see she is almost completely bald and very thin. Lily's treatment was a gentle introduction to the world, fat building food, and a very warm shed to keep her little body warm at night.
We hope that gradually Lily will learn to trust us and the new safe world around her.
