Price increase

Due to a few months of very high overheads with food, fuel and enormous vets bills, Little Hen Rescue have no option but to increase the price of hens to £2.50 each with immediate effect.

This affects all the people booked in for the rescue later this month.

We are sorry we have had to take this step, we had lots of hens at HQ who we couldn't rehome due due illness and who were "off their legs" and needing extra TLC. The food bill for these hens is huge. We also had many who needed vet attention and that bill was over £1000 for a month.

We are hoping that the "right" people will still want the hens. We did worry that some people were just wanting the hens because they were cheap.

LHR have to pay the farmers whatever the slaughterman would pay as the farmers expect something back at the end of the hens time with them.

Little Hen Rescue is unlike ANY of the other rescues even the VERY well known ones. The reason LHR is different is because of the premises and enclosures/buildings which means we rescue EVERY hen whereas the "other" rescues leave behind any that they cannot immediately rehome which to be honest, personally sickens me.

Jo is dedicated to giving EVERY hen a chance which makes her so special.

Please continue to support Little Hen Rescue save even more hens. We appreciate everyone who supports us!
