sadietoo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Just to say that BHWT have lovely ex-caged hens looking for homes collection from Wigan If anyone has any space the contact is sophie.mccoy@bhwt.org.uk Hope this doesn't break any rules mods. It came up on my FB page and so I thought I'd share here to reach a wider audience as we are practically in the English Channel here so not likely to reach the right people to spread the word!

Mars Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't mean to be rude. just curious. I went to BHWT website, in the photo they have white/bluish eggs on the table, it doesn't seem that the eggshell has been removed, it seems they are white eggs. the hens they are rehoming lay brown eggs. do they do that for a reason I didn't get or what?

I don't get your question? Maybe the eggs on the table are from the lady's hens, maybe she has a few different types of hens? Maybe they are there for aesthetic reasons, I have rehomed hens from BHWT and have brown and virtually white eggs. By the way BHWT are rehoming from kent too on 4/1/15....a happy new year for those hard working girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't get your question? what I mean is if you ask people to adopt exbat hens you should do it first. I thought the battery hens lay only brown eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Sorry I can't help with rehoming any of the girls as I'm too far away - I hope it goes well. Just wanted to say this thread has really made me laugh as I have no idea what's going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the picture with "support us" written under it I think the people in the picture are having a "Free Range Friday" fundraising get together with food made with free range eggs. They can do this without necessarily having ex-commercial (or any) hens. (Or maybe, like me, they have ex commercial hens along with blue and white egg layers and the brown eggs are not visible in the picture as they are at the bottom of the egg skelter, or they were all used up, or the hens hadn't laid any recently, or..... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
