Rescued hens?

Tranceypoo · 2014-08-30 17:47:25

Does anyone know if it's possible to get ex battery/rescue hens in Co Galway? The mother in law keeps hens, wants some new ones, we thought it would be nicer if we could get some ex batts, good food and arsing around on the farm all day and a nice bed at night time.

We got battery rescues from a couple in Galway some years back - I can't for the life of me remember where they were based but it was out in the country. (Not much help sorry) Maybe you might find some rescues online who would know.

Just to say it was a pure joy to watch the hens come back to condition (they were in an awful state) and enjoy a new found freedom.

Wrong side of the country from me but if you post on Irish Fowl.ie I'm certain someone over there could point you in the right direction.
