Hi

There are many websites that rescue battery hens from battery farms. Also, what i did when i first got my first chickens was go to a farm supplies shop such as Mole Valley Farmers and check the ad board. Look for adverts that are from battery farms. These ads will probably be really cheap. I got my first 6 hens for 50p each! Phone the number and organize a time to collect your hens. The hens will probably have been separated from the rest in the main shed and you can pick the nicest looking most healthy hens. These ads usually show up at the end of the month and there are loads in March and April. This is when the farmers need to get new hens to replace the old ones. They have no need for the old ones an they have gone past laying an egg every day. If you weren't to buy them, they would have been killed as they are no longer wanted. When you first bring the hens home they will look really untidy and scruffy but, with a little bit of care, will soon become you little friends.

As i said, i got hens from s battery farm and took to hen keeping instantly. It is such a fun hobby and, can make a small profit!

I hope this has been helpful.

If you have any more question don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks
