IS LIVE
Our mission is going global via a growing collective of like-minded organisations improving the welfare of laying hens worldwide.
21st birthday
We’re the British Hen Welfare Trust, the leading hen welfare charity that rehomes ex-commercial laying hens as pets, educates the public about how they can make a difference to hen welfare, encourages support for the British egg industry, and works with stakeholders to improve welfare for all hens.
Saving the lives of commercial laying hens
and enriching the lives of those who save them

Meet our sponsor hens
Turkey embraced free-range life with confidence and curiosity, quickly becoming the flock’s busybody. She built her coop and claimed Schmunt the cockerel. Forever inquisitive, Turkey dreams of sneaking indoors but happily explores with Schmunt and friend Heebie.
Read our latest magazine
It’s with great pleasure we bring you the spring issue of Chicken & Egg magazine. Spring always feels like a great time to start something new, and this year we’re not doing things by half.
As you dive into this edition’s pages, you’ll find the full details of our GLOBAL launch! World Hen Welfare is a dream coming true as we aim to share our mission and values with countries worldwide, so that even more hens benefit from our tried and tested model.
With France and the US already on board, World Hen Welfare offers a framework for other interested countries to join and save the lives of ex-commercial hens within their jurisdiction, as well as encouraging better hen welfare on a wider scale.
We know how powerful this movement can be, and we can’t wait to expand our reach internationally.
This launch perfectly coincides with our 21st birthday on 15th April – it’s our coming of age, and we’re over the moon to be giving more hens their keys to the coop. We hope you are too!
