When it comes to hen care tasks this is one we really don't mind doing! Be sure to collect any eggs your ladies have laid each day. Just avoid washing them as this will remove the protective bloom which keeps out bacteria. Instead, just wash them when you're going to use them!

Our team is preparing for our next rescue & rehome on the 9th July when we will have white and brown hens available. If you are looking for some new additions please book now on our website bit.ly/3tKFRSi #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens

Did you know that although chickens can't fly long distances, they can fly up into a tree or over a fence for better foraging? They can run at up to 9 mph in short bursts and can turn very quickly! #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens

If you'd like to add some colour to your flock we have some lovely white hens available alongside brown hens from the 9th July! Reserve your chooks now on our website bit.ly/3tKFRSi #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens

Try to spend some time every day watching your chooks. Not only is this great for your mental health but you'll spot any hens which look a bit unhappy and take action #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens

In just under a week we will have these gorgeous girls available to rehome. That's right, these white and brown chooks are looking for new homes! Reserve yours now bit.ly/3MKqbaB #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens

Did you know that there is a wide variety in egg colour? In the UK we prefer brown eggs but depending on the breed of the chicken eggs can also come in shades of red, green, blue and white! #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens

Forever homes wanted for 15th October! We're excited about rehoming ex-commercial hens from a new farm in Kent. Reserve yours now via our website: bit.ly/3tKFRSi #chickenrescueuk #chickenrescue #rehomingchickens #rescuechickens
