Battery Hen Welfare Trust

Since our establishment in October 2003 BHWT has requested a minimum voluntary donation of 50p per hen. However, due to widespread supporter encouragement as well as our increased running costs, we will be asking a minimum donation of £1 per hen with effect from 1st July 2008. We will, of course, still be extremely grateful for donations over and above the minimum! Thank you.

The aim of this site is to inspire as many of you as possible to do all you can to help us achieve a better future for the 20 million battery hens currently in their cages.

The Battery Hen Welfare Trust is unique in that it does NOT condemn the battery farmer, but works in a constructive and positive way with the industry. We do not concur with extremist views or tactics.

We are not associated with any other organisation or group linked in any way to battery hens and seek to build only positive, constructive and mutually beneficial relationships with all those concerned with the egg industry

Please take a good look around our website, as well as practical information on caring for and how to adopt some battery hens, there are lots of other pages with useful information:

Every single page on this site has pictures of battery hens, all of whom were given a second chance by the BHWT – some beautiful, some to pull your heart strings and all excellent illustrations of the individuality of the humble battery hen.

If you believe, as we do, that battery hens have a strong instinct to carry out natural behaviours, seek stimulation and interaction, then read every page and learn how you can help us really make a difference.
