RESCUED BATTERY HENS

The Little Hen Rescue Centre, managed by Jo Eglen, has saved thousands of battery hens from a miserable fate, many of whom have lost their feathers through heat and stress.

Local people have come up with a way of keeping them warm, by knitting them little jackets......

wonderful, anyone have designs for these? I rescued a chicken form the organic farm where I work, her name is Babs and she's doing fine, her back is very sore and bald, damn feather peckers, had we left her she would have died. She could do with a little jumper for in the cold when wshe's running around

If you send a message to rosahlyn here on youtube she maybe able to help you as I believe she knows Joe Egland. Lyn also saves battery hens in Lincs.

what gives humans the right to overpopulate the earth and torture and kill animals in torture farms. Neither one is a right in any way

Awesome! Maybe there's a way to knit hemp & recycled fibers too, so our dear sheep pals don't have to be further relied upon either (many of them are discarded/abused as well out there.) Info for some who asked: there are places in the u.s. to adopt rescued (& otherwise neglected, abused or discarded) hens. Farm Sanctuary, Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, & others need more adopters but you'll have to let them do a site visit to make sure you have a good set up. Learn about veganism too!

@iRiShFreeRunner97 You a chicken I trust? If your human go slit you rists! After all you said ALL humans!

Nitted jumpers? Don't heat lamps work? Course if we did this in texas they wouldn't need help keeping warm. Cool yes. But not warm!

What is the process of getting the hens from the battery cage, away from their original owner, to the heat lamp and safety in your barn? How do you rescue a battery hen?

God bless you. Now that's a rescue! My chickens weren't battery types but they have enjoyed going from a pecking order coop of 25-50 to just 2 spoiled hens sharing a large backyard. They each have their own personality and they're a joy to own. I encourage others to try it. 
