The rescue centre where I get all my chickens from - Homes4Hens - are trying to raise funds for a new vehicle to rescue ex battery hens (also known as caged hens) and transport the hens to their new homes, saving them from being slaughtered. I wanted to share this because I love chickens very much, and I think this organisation is wonderful! They write,
Homes4Hens Rescue CIC is an organisation committed to rescuing and rehoming ex-caged hens otherwise destined for slaughter. We have been operating since 2010 and have so far saved the lives of over 20,000 hens!
We have managed to get by using our own family vehicle or on some occasions borrowed a vehicle from volunteers to rescue the hens from farms and distribute them to seven collection points located across Scotland and Northern England. In order for our project to continue we are in desperate need of a designated vehicle, suited to the purpose and for the sole use of the organisation. This vehicle would be fitted with a ventilation system and crates allowing us to transport more hens safely and in comfort.
