Consett, Durham

Ex-commercial laying hens face slaughter at just 72 weeks old when their egg production naturally declines—not because they're sick or old, but because they're no longer profitable. That's where our Consett volunteers step in.

Our North East England team coordinates directly with farms, handles safe transport, and matches each hen with adopters throughout Durham and beyond. These dedicated volunteers make rescue possible—and they're here to support you every step of your adoption journey.
