I rescued 10 colony caged birds from ferring... I'm so pleased I did! Watching them flourish and learn how to be normal chickens is a joy. They have such amazing characters, and truly are my beloved pets. Thank you to BHWT and all your wonderful volunteers.

We have had two allocations of hens from BHWT. Collection from Wood Green was well organised. Impressed.

We have had a very positive experience with the BHWT. Our new girls are doing wonderfully well. The collection went as planned and was well organised. I've used the advice line and found them to be lovely and very helpful. Thank you!

What a great job this charity does. I knew loads of people who had pet hens from them,Inc a nr neighbour so decided to have a look for myself. I've always taken in unwanted chickens Inc a lot of cockerels,as a vegetarian they were safe to live out their lives with me. When I moved to a more populated area (10houses) I knew I had to stop taking cockerels in. These hens are so sweet,you still get some eggs, enough to keep me and my family in fresh eggs plus a few neighbours, hedgehogs appreciate a few too. As long as you can keep them safe at night from urban foxes or a brave cat,why not have even just two. Company for each other and they do make great easy to care for pets,very easy for children to handle and they like to be petted,nice calm birds who deserve a better ending to life after all those yummy eggs they've produced for you to enjoy. Give it a thought,a rabbit hutch and run would be ok when you consider these girls aren't used to that much freedom. More if you can give it and they're not expensive costing less than a cat to keep. Great at clearing pests from your garden and thrive in a nice patch of nettles.

Always have Hen Welfare top priority. Have rehomed hens from the Trust. Any time I sought advice the Help Line responded promptly, patiently and were generous with advice.

Just because you have reserved a chicken -or three in my case- (by making online payment) does NOT mean you will receive your chickens. I paid a donation of £20 for 3 chickens, over and above the £5 per chicken suggested donation. I got within 0.5miles of the entrance to be called and told sorry
