All 600 hens are around eighteen months of age, a quarter of their natural lifespan.

The hens are all from an egg farm and have reduced their egg production below what is required for a commercial farm.

If the rescue organisation cannot identify adopters, the hens will be culled.

Til The Cows Come home is seeking adopters who wish to give the hens a second chance at life.

Rachele Clarke, Operations Manager of Til The Cows Come Home told News Of The Area that hens make excellent backyard pets.

“They will provide home grown eggs for many years, provide garden pest control, be a natural kitchen and garden waste disposal as well as being wonderful family companions,” said Rachele.

“Our vision is to create a more compassionate world where farm animals are viewed as companions, not commodities.”

Rachele explains that for potential adopters “the process is simple, involving an online application form”.

“My team can help with advice on transport home and care guides for the long-term care of adopted hens.”
