Sophieam101 Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi all Its been ages since I've been on.... I now help out in the battery hen rescues in Essex, http://www.thehenshouse.co.uk/ we could do with another few pairs of hands to help, you can be any age (I'm 13) within reason and don't worry if your not experienced with handling them. If you do want to help (thats would be great) then you can PM for the details and questions or just go straight to the site!!! Its a very rewarding thing to do and only after my first rescue I wanted some (which I now have Baby, Molly, Dolly and Polly), they are very sweet and all are laying eggs for me!!!

Cate in NZ Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sophie, good to see you back again. What a worthwhile thing you're doing helping with the rescues. Fantastic work . I went to Devon for the big rescue a couple of weeks ago, and came back with 3 rescue girls. Both my 12 year old daughter and I enjoyed the experience and have talked about trying to get more involved with more rescues, so this could be the ideal opportunity for us. I've already contacted the Kent rescue co-ordinator, but I'm in North Kent, pretty close to the Dartford Crossings really, so Essex is easy for me too. I'll email the Essex co-ordinator as well..... and you never know we might just meet up at a rescue sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 That's good to see you are helping. Does the Warwickshire/Midlands branch need anymore spare hands? ***Buffie?*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Martin, If you check out the website http://www.thehenshouse.co.uk/rescuecoordinators.html there's a list of local co-ordinators, I couldn't see any for the midlands, but it may be that there's someone listed there who you could make contact with. Or maybe Sophie could give you further information, you could try PMing her Good luck with finding out more about the rescues... it's a very valuable job, and a worthwhile experience.

Sophieam101 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi Martin I don't know about the Warwickshire/Midlands area but if you email jane@thehenshouse.co.uk , then jane should be able to tell you everything you ned to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophieam101 Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Hi Afamily That would be great if you could help. We ar'nt doing a huge amount of rescues at the moment, because the essex codiantor (Jean) has only been teh Essex codinator for a few months, but their seems to be more chickens each time.
