WOOHOO LHR DID IT!

All the 10-11,000 hens were rescued from the farm. The last one had a red ring put on her leg and was named Jo!
The fantastic way in which all the volunteers pulled together to make this happen makes me realise what a really special group we are at Little Hen Rescue.
EVERY hen has a home which is amazing! All the people who have come forward to offer homes, the people who made the fleecy and woolly jumpers for the baldies, YOU ARE STARS!
Hopefully now these poor girls whom some have been in a cage of 10 hen (legal limit 4-5 depending on the cage size) can now stretch their wings, walk about and enjoy the retirement they deserve.

We are not sure when the next rescue will be. We hope we can take a break and gather ourselves BUT if a farmer comes along wanting his sheds clearing or we hear that the slaughterman has been booked, we will all swing into action once again.

Personally I thank everyone for all you have done. I can't run around hen catching due to my disability but offering advice to new owners is just as important. Everybody who helps us in any way is equally as important.
