We change the lives of thousands of hens every year
We are the British Hen Welfare Trust, a UK charity committed to changing the lives of commercial laying hens since 2005.
Our association with the egg industry positively influences the lives of hens, providing a well deserved free-range retirement.

All bird keepers are now legally obliged to keep their birds under cover and to raise their biosecurity, even in a home environment. It is vital that wild birds and vermin are kept away from any backyard poultry or pet hens.
There will be no further rehoming activity with effect from 12th December until the Avian Influenza situation improves. When it is safe to recommence our lifesaving rehoming work we will be up and running immediately.
