Adoption Day- Rescue Hens- Nowra, NSW

We will be holding a Rescue Hen Adoption Day on Sunday, 31st May 2026, between 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM.

The hens are available for collection near Nowra, NSW! (The full collection details are shared once your adoption has been finalised.)

About the hens:
- Breed: Hyline brown
- Age: Approx. 18 months of age

At around 18 months of age, after these hens have given all that their fragile bodies have to give and no longer meet the commercial egg-laying standards, they are typically culled and replaced with younger hens that will face the same fate.

We believe these hens deserve a second chance where they can be loved as companions, not commodities.

Whether you are looking for companions (or companions with the bonus of eggs), we encourage you to give a rescued hen a chance and adopt today.

If you are interested in adopting some rescue hens, please send us a message to start your adoption journey today.

All adopters need to have a secure coop, and hens must have access to free-range and be cared for by their adopter, regardless of how long they lay eggs.

These hens have come from egg farms; some hens may need a little more TLC than others. Hens should be treated for lice, mites and worms. High-protein and quality pellets should be fed to the hens once they arrive, with scraps being a treat.
