Got home from Crete and finally into bed at 4am. Then drove to Kineton today for 6 new rescue chooks!
5 Browns and a Legbar were successfully grabbed 😂 They were a feisty lot for the BHWT volunteers to wrangle ❤️

Have you got the heart to save a hen? The British Hen Welfare Trust is (BHWT) looking for homes for 173 ex free-range laying hens, and is holding an urgent rehoming event in Didcot, on Sunday August 16th. Register by 2pm Friday August 14th on bhwt.org.uk/hen-adoption
August 4, 2026 at 7:11 PM
Jon Joy, a BHWT volunteer said:
“People can worry about the unknowns of keeping hens, but they are friendly, inquisitive and surprisingly low-maintenance. We should have got hens years earlier. Each one has a completely different personality, and you quickly realise what wonderful pets they make.”
August 4, 2026 at 7:11 PM
The race is on to re-home 120 ex-commercial laying hens in Didcot before February 8th. The British Hen Welfare Trust is appealing for would-be kind hearted chicken keepers to come forward by 4pm Friday and give the hens a chance at a free range retirement.

13 months since her adoption, Caper (the most stressed out chook ever) is finally growing feathers on her baldy little head.

Andy Hill at the British Hen Welfare Trust: “Hens can bring so much joy. They’re funny, curious little characters. Plus, they’re still more than happy to pop out the occasional egg. With spring approaching, this is the ideal time to start – and these hens are more than ready for a fresh beginning.”

The wildflower meadow in the back part of the garden is turning into a fun daisy jungle for the chickens. 🥰

Samosa is a chronic tea-stealer. This was Deckchair Dreaming from @birdandblendtea (a gift from @jpseabright!). Chamomile, apple, rosehip, linden blossom, hibiscus and orange peel, it's very chicken friendly!

One of the many, many, many reasons why I love working at @globalactionplan.bsky.social is their #SecretSanta guidance:

They encourage experiences, second hand, local or handmade gifts over new stuff.

As a Mama to rescue chickens, this filled my heart like no bought gift ever could...

(I didn’t go with BHWT as I’d heard awful things about the collection point close to me!)

BHWT don't normally have any problems rehoming hens. Most are allocated well ahead of the rescue as people reserve them online. If this isn't happening then it must be due to the continuing bird flu lockdown. People will be reluctant to bring new hens onto their property and risk passing it on.

I’m one of the volunteers with BHWT. All my chickens are from there. ❤️

At 18 months old, the hens have reached the end of their commercial life. Anyone looking to adopt simply needs to offer these hens security, food and water and a little bit of TLC, says the BHWT. To adopt visit bhwt.org.uk/hen-adoption and click ‘adopt’ next to the location nearest to you (Didcot).
Hen Adoption | British Hen Welfare Trust
We provide hen adoption across 46 sites nationwide. We rehome thousands of commercial laying hens destined for slaughter each year. Adopt ex-commerical hens today!

No artist here but I'll boost and mention how great the work the BHWT do is. My mother has adopted five lovely ladies rescued by them who are doing fabulously well and enjoying a spoilt life. 💕

It was Fresh Start For Hens today who do. Wry similar mass rehoming. The next BHWT rehoming anywhere near was next weekend and poor Brian was lonely after losing his mate on Wednesday.

I was very sad to lose Pakora a few weeks ago. She was a pretty easy-going chicken, loved a bit of wellie-pecking, loved to come upstairs and get treats, and was often seen giving Perseus's face a good clean. ❤️

A day in the life of Linda. Aka my new research assistant 🥰

It's only been 10 days since she and her buddies were adopted and she's such a friendly and inquisitive little thing.

I am. I get them from a specific charity (BHWT) and they haven't had a rehoming near me for ages. I can't wait. I lost four all at once so have super reinforced my chicken area.
(Bella, Bear, Mabel and Agnes. RIP).
