As you will know from visiting our site, we help to rehome abandoned, mistreated and battery hens. We are also trying to become a one stop shop for anyone who needs advice on keeping chickens. We have to do all this by gettting donations and through the adoptions. For this we are sincerely greatful and it is really helping a lot of chickens that would no longer be here.
Welcome
Adopt A Chicken
We would like you to help us to help unwanted and badly treated chickens. We are totally against the practise of keeping hens in cages. There is not one good thing in the life of a battery hen, unless there are people like us and you who are willing to help. We actively encourage people and organisations to stop buying battery farm food products, such as eggs and the hens themselves. We also rehouse battery hens and encourage others to do so. We understand not everyone can rehome chickens, but you can help us to do that by adopting some of our rescued hens.
Urgent Help Needed
I’m writing on behalf of the RSPCA, raising awareness of its urgent campaign to protect the welfare of UK meat chickens. I think this topic may be of real interest to many of you, and I hope it will be OK to start a topic about it. If this is not an appropriate place for it or a mod would like to discuss it please do let me know.
Right now, the UK government is considering new EU legislation that may increase the number of chickens allowed in rearing sheds. Even at current minimum standards, each bird is given less space than a sheet of A4. It’s hard to walk or even flap their wings. But this legislation would allow yet more birds to be squashed in, cutting that space by almost a quarter.
We desperately need you to join us in urging Jim Fitzpatrick, Minister for Animal Welfare, to make the right choice for UK chickens and quash the squash, by sending an email via our campaign website at http://bit.ly/quash
We have also created a short film called Irritating Chicken to highlight the plight of meat chickens. The purpose of the stunt was to invade people’s personal space and make them feel what it is like being squashed into a chicken shed. The video can be found at http://bit.ly/ichick.
