February 2010

27th February saw 2007 hens find new homes across the country. Once again, we can only thank all of our supporters and rehomers for giving the girls a fresh start! Look out for future rescue news in the coming weeks.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2010...

2010 has started off a cold year but we're eagerly looking forward to our next rescue at the end of February. Many thanks to all of you who have applied early for hens.

October 2009

10th October 2009 was the last Henrehomers' rescue for 2009. We brought out nearly 1300 birds who are now in new homes across the country. Many thanks to all rehomers and coordinators who made this happen!

August 2009

Another brilliant day.  2171 hens came out to see the sun shine!  A MASSIVE Thank You to all involved. All hens now settled into their new homes.

June 2009

We are delighted to be able to tell you that 2500 lovely ladies (and a couple of cockerels) have been given new lives this week!

A huge thank you to all the farm helpers, drivers, coordinators and other helpers who worked flat out during the weekend to make sure the rescue ran smoothly despite having to take the girls from upstairs in the sheds which slowed down the loading.

Another HUGE thank you to all the homers who have taken on girls this weekend - without you we would be helpless to rescue the girls, we hope you enjoy watching them start to explore their new world and develope their personalities!

May 2009

May 2nd saw the start of a new life in the sunshine for 1600 more lucky ladies! The day went like clockwork, and the hens headed off all over the country to be united with their new owners.

We are eternally grateful to everyone who helped make this such a successful day, giving their time, money and facilities selflessly to help the girls a Fresh Start in the sun!

March 2009

We have reluctantly had to increase the size of our requested minimum donation to £1.50 per hen with effect from the next rescue. The costs associated with the rescues in terms of van hire, fuel, phone costs, etc. are high, and we cannot rely upon peoples ongoing generosity in contributing their own funds to subsidise rescues. We are an entirely non profit making organisation.

We would also like to wish Carly all the best as she retires from an active involvement in Hen Rehomers. Carly created the rescue and has put her heart and soul into its running during the past year, without her those 10,000 hens would not be leading their happy free range lives!

Forthcoming...

Henrehomers is having a makeover!

We're working with our new team to design and launch some big changes to our website. Watch out for more information......
