Supporting your hens, saving more lives

This form is for hen keepers that have adopted hens from the BHWT more than four weeks ago or from organisations other than the BHWT. If this doesn't apply to you please use this form.

Adopted more than four weeks ago or from elsewhere

How it works

Examine your hen

If you have a hen health query, please view our Hen Examination Guidelines in advance of filling out the form below, so you can best describe the issue your hen is facing. If your hen is critically ill please contact your Hen Friendly Vet immediately. Please also use this service for enquiries relating to behavioural issues such as bullying or merging.

Fill out our brief online form

This form helps us understand the issue and ensures we give you the best advice possible. If you wish, you can upload any relevant photos to support your enquiry. 

Make your donation

As part of submitting your form, we kindly request a minimum donation of £5.

Receive support

Once you’ve submitted your form and donated, our dedicated team will provide tailored advice based on your description, helping you care for your hen to the best of your ability.

Gift Aid
Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you.
A Gift Aid declaration allows the British Hen Welfare Trust to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to the British Hen Welfare Trust we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.
By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like the British Hen Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that the British Hen Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.
