jimnpaula Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 This came up on my Facebook via the BHWT: British Hen Welfare Trust shared Winnie Woodcock-dennis's photo. Please take the time to read this little story... Hopefully one of our many lovely BHWT supporters in Essex will be able to help? Hi everyone. We have a story to share. We have had our gorgeous hens from BHWT for over a year. Yesterday after a death from old age, a fox massacred the rest of our flock. We were devastated, as they have become part of our family. I have spend the last 24 hours miserable and very upset. I took the decision to empty out their house of fresh bedding ready for rubbish collection tomorrow. On going to our bins, I found a hen, alive and unharmed by the fox. She has hidden there all night and all day. I've just fed her and she has toddled off to lay an egg. I cannot explain the emotional roller coaster we have been on. I would like to ask if anyone in the Essex area has a lonely hen needing a home, as I fear she may die of loneliness before the next batch of hens is available for rehoming. Can anyone help?

jimnpaula Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Having re-read the post I think she may be asking about getting another hen for company, not asking to re-home this survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
