Last week another baby broiler came into our care . Here are her brothers and sisters who were also found left behind after the slaughter catchers had gone 🙏🏻

This is how lucky they were 🙏🏻

Over 1.1 billion broiler chickens are reared and slaughtered for meat in the UK every year. At any given time, roughly 126 million meat chickens are active in the farming system, with around 95% housed in intensive factory-farming units.

Thanks to Chris Julies husband and lianne her daughter for choosing luckyhensrescue.com in memory of her 🙏🏻

We are overwhelmed with the amount of donations we have received following the sad passing of Julie Curbishley, who has supported us and many other animal sanctuaries and rescues for many year .
She was clearly an animal lover 🥰

Beautiful fresh woodchip, perfect for chicken runs, as a mulch for garden beds and borders. Also perfect for pathways, children's play areas and more. Great to add into your compost heap, boosting microbial activity and giving your compost more body and substance.

It's a great mix of large chips and mulch finer bits. It'll compost down beautifully when used as a mulch or even dug into the soil. Breaking up heavy soils, boosting microbial activity, improving water retention and reducing weeds.
The larger pieces will break down slowly, feeding your soil over time and lasting as a mulch for several years. Meanwhile the fine material will compost down within a year, giving your plants a quicker boost of nutrients and improving your soil more
We have a shovel and some bags but we recommend you bring some just incase theres non left, just bag yourself . Take as much or as little as you like! If you can please make donation to luckyhensrescue.com
Please pm to arrange collection.

We already have broilers in our care. Our fosterer Sue is very clued up on their diets and exercise thanks. Some are over 12 months having the time of their lives 🐔

Today, we received a message off a farm hand who cleans down barns when poultry have gone to be slaughtered to tell us he'd found a little one that had been left behind.

We never ever say no.
Here she is with her new mum who instinctively held her wing out when 🐥 was put by her side 🥺

Behind the scenes we're prepping for plant sales to start again next year. We couldnt find the time this year due to the hens needing us to rescue , then the intense heat 🥵 which caused some to die. However we managed to get lots into the ground to save what we could and it worked 🙏🏻
We're letting them turn to seed to see what naturally grows next spring 🌱🌸🌻🏵
We do have globe thistle and echinacea seeds available now though if you like some.

Most days, we have injured hens admitted from commercial egg farms.
This little girl is only about 6 months. Thankfully, she was spotted by a compassionate farm hand before the others killed her.
She's now on pain relief, nest rest and eating and drinking in peace & quiet,so she can recover from her traumatic ordeal
