Does anyone have any chicks due to hatch in about a weeks time. Yellow ones. Please contact me if you do. Thanks 🙏🏼 🐣🐥

With summer upon us, and warmer weather gracing our gardens, we delight in the fact that our rehomings can take place regularly.

But, if it’s too hot or too cold, our activities are often limited, so as not to inflict extreme conditions upon the hens. We may even have to bring out fewer hens to avoid overheating, for example.

You have the power to change that, however, through donations to help fund a van for hens. A new van would guarantee our hens’ safety and comfort inside, regardless of the weather outside, as well as being able to create more rehoming points, making a huge difference to the lives of thousands more hens. 🚚

Previous support funded a new van for our Midlands teams back in 2010 and again in 2020 when our Devon van broke down completely – within weeks supporters helped us raise funds to replace it, saving thousands of hens' lives. If you can give to our appeal you’ll be helping more hens on their way to a free-range retirement as a family pet.

Follow the link to our Van Appeal below to find out more and make a donation. ❤ Thank you.

Here's the update that we, and our hens, have all been waiting for! 🙌 Poultry and other captive birds in England and Wales can be let outside from 00:01 on the 18th of April 2023, unless you are in a 3km protection or captive bird (monitoring) controlled zone.

Those who intend to allow their birds outside are advised to use the upcoming days to prepare their outside areas for the release of their birds. This will include cleansing and disinfecting hard surfaces, fencing off ponds or standing water and reintroduction of wild bird deterrents.

For further information please see APHA's latest press release:

This is very sad 😢

Sadly, we can’t prevent wild bird from getting it, says Parks Trust
