About my feathered friends When I re-homed my first 100 ex-bats in October 2003 I had no idea that within just two years thousands of spent hens would be given the extraordinary opportunity to free range the UK countryside; an opportunity of which most battery hens can only dream. Each year the number re-homed grows and our perception of the humble hen steadily changes as more people realise just what endearing creatures they are. There is not a single hen I have encountered who hasn’t flourished and blossomed when human kindness has entered her world, likewise not a single human I know whose life has not been touched and enriched by the company of their feathered friends. Every
hen on this site melts the heart or brings a smile to
the face, they are at once endearing and extrovert – as
those who are privileged enough to care for some will
know. |

Those amongst us bold enough to confess
that we love our hens just as we love our dogs and cats have, in my opinion, the greatest of opportunities: the wellbeing of millions of hens, just like our very own
Henriettas, Mabels, Hennypennys and Pollys, is in our hands – we can either sit back and allow millions more to exist and expire unseen or we can unite and quietly and carefully work our way towards improving their quality of life.
