On Sunday, we rescued twenty-one hens from the slaughterhouse with the help of Susan from Littlehill Animal Rescue Kildare. Myself, Niall & Ciarán headed off to Lidl carpark in Grange Road, Rathfarnham armed with cardboard boxes, Sudocream and blue antiseptic spray (for their poor bare skin) to meet our new feathered friends.

Figuring out how to get 21 hens into two cars
We managed to get twenty-one scared and flappy hens into two cars with three people and a dog! It was a bit of a funny ride back to The Hazel House but we got there somehow! One of our girls even laid an egg in the car on the way home! What a hero!

Our existing flock checking out the new girls in town
Susan from Littlehill is currently working night and day driving around the country to find new homes for these girls. These lucky ones will now live out the rest of their days in The Hazel House with the rest of our flock including chickens, ducks and one lucky rooster! Thanks so much to Susan for saving thousands of these girls from a dreadful fate. If you are interested in rehoming hens yourself please check out Littlehill Animal Rescue Facebook page. They are so easy to take care of once you hava a secure coop or shed and they will reward you with fresh eggs and entertain you with their funny antics!
