Single hen

[buffie]

Hi I'll post this in the sticky but just heard that all 1700 hens are being rescued this saturday. It's now a very early start for me and the team but who cares as this is the best news.

 

Thanks and see you there, Clare, Mel, KateA and Omlet!

Wow! Good luck to everyone involved!

[Louise]

Just a quick Q Buffie did Jane ever hear anything from the Paul OGrady show after we all emailed

 

I never had a reply to mine and I don't watch the show

[buffie]

Not that I know of Louise but these things can sit for ages. It's never a waste of time though so thanks again for that I will be asking you all to help again

Good luck everyone. Hope all those hens find nice new homes and lots of love.

[Paola]

Good luck. Having read the article in the June Practical Poultry, it is truly inspiring. If I did not already have a full house I would have loved to adopt a few

[buffie]

Appreciate it and keep checking the BHWT sticky for news and info

Well done on finding all of the homes needed!

[buffie]

I wish I'd had something to do with it Martin but I wonder where they are going?

 

Well we all know where some of them are going but I think some people have been booking 50's which means the numbers shoot up. 50,, 3 or 4 it's all wonderful.

Yer it is! Why doesn't Jimmy Doherty get some more for his farm. Did he know about the rescue?

[buffie]

He has enough Martin and he does a great job raising the profile. It's the outcome of people changing their shopping habits that's most important, it means no more battery farming and the rescued hens are a bonus!

"Jimmys Farm" has certainly made people more aware of the plight of Battery hens.

People really seem to care about where their eggs come from now - which is great

 

If there were some sort of docu show about rescuing the hens which went into more detail about the terrible lives they lead,that would help even more.

There are always these expose programmes on - why not on battery hens (unless I have missed it already )

[One Man Banned]

Sorry to digress and excusing the pun but that kind of programme might "ruffle too many feathers"

 

It'll only be because it'll scare the industry seeing as so many products use battery eggs - and frightening the industry exactly what we do want to happen.

 

I don't think many channels would go near it

 

How about we lobby the BBC to do something as it's licence payers money?

 

As for the rescue - Good Luck when we have a bit more space and room we intend to house at least two (maybe more depending on how much land we get with a new place)
