Got a nice brand new Bateson one from Bearts at Stowbridge. I'd initially wanted something more heavy duty but these are ok for heavy quad bikes so a few chook crates and sacks of food should be fine.
We received NO donations towards the trailer at all and have funded it entirely ourselves, as with most things which we do not resent in the slightest as we love the hens and that is our reward.
Please see our sponsors page.We now hope to also go to the farms with Little Hen Rescue and help with the initial rescuing of the hens. The trailer we have just purchased a 8 x 4 ft Bateson trailer with metal sides and mesh which comes quite high which is ideal for the poultry crates in it, and bedding bales/sacks of food etc...It has a metal gridded high tailgate which is an ideal ramp for our quad, my trike or for walking up with crates.
When travelling we can tarpaulin the top in case of rain BUT also the mesh sides will allow fresh air to get to the hens as they get so hot travelling.

We also hope to eventually transport hens as far as Newark in Nottinghamshire which will give easy access to rehomers from the North and South via the A1, which we couldn't even consider without a trailer.
