About Rescue Hens- Adoption Day!
We're holding a Rescue Hen Adoption Day in Canberra, ACT.
Join us on Sunday, 24th November, from 9 am to 10 am, where together, we have a chance to rescue hens from an egg farm. Please note, the collection date and time are fixed and cannot be changed.
In order to attend the adoption day, you must be pre-approved by our adoption team. Collection location details will be shared after your application to adopt has been approved.
If you’ve ever considered keeping hens or would like to add to your existing flock, now is the time. Every hen adopted is a life saved.
To adopt a hen and help us save as many lives as possible, please follow these simple steps:
1. Send us a message to start the adoption process.
2. Complete a quick application form (this is to ensure the hens go to great homes)
3. Collect your hens (this is on the set day)
Medical notes
These hens were surrendered from a free-range egg farm. Some of these girls are missing feathers due to the conditions at the farm and are laying at a low capacity. However, with a little TLC, their feathers should grow back, and their laying may increase.
Please note, hens are to be adopted as companions/pets. Forever homes only! As rescue hens kept in inadequate conditions, some may have health issues. These cases are a small percentage but please keep this in mind.
Adoption details
