Thank you very much for coming to look at our blog. We both feel very strongly about the British Hen Welfare Trust! We are trying to advocate the BHWT as we don’t think many people are very clued in about it. We would like, after you have read our blog, for you to feel differently or more strongly perhaps about the BHWT. We would like to change people’s opinion on the BHWT and to raise more awareness on the cause.
We want to try and help more hens all over the country that are being cruelly kept in small cages and dirty barns. The BHWT aims to help to give new homes to retired battery hens, to keep them from being slaughtered and sold for meat. Many chickens all over the country have already been saved from these awful conditions (shown on the picture below) thanks to the help of the BHWT, but many more still need to be saved.
You can help them by…
• Sponsoring a chicken – you can choose from a selection of chickens to sponsor, and at just £17.99 (all the money goes to the buying of food and bedding etc) you receive a certificate of sponsorship, a car sticker, your chosen hens story and pictures, two blank greetings cards and a six months update on your hens progress.
• Donating some money – donate a few pounds to help the BHWT to buy some food, bedding or maybe even a trailer to pick chickens up in.
• Adopting some hens – adopting hens can be a very rewarding thing to do; they are easy to care for and are very loving. It also helps to get the poor chickens out of the cages as well.
These are just some of the ways that you can help them.
Thank you again for reading our blog and if you have any time if you could please answer the questions below about the blog and the BHWT. That would help us a lot and if you would like to leave a personal comment as well please feel free to do that as well. If you would like any more information you can go to www.bhwt.org.uk.

I had not heard of th BHWT before I read the blog. I didnb't realise quite how bad some of the conditions were. I always buy free range eggs and meat and will definately try to convert more people to this way of thinking.
ReplyDeleteI hate how badly battery hens are treated and my whole family refuse to buy eggs from battery hens because of the way they are treated. We should hopefully be getting some hens and there is no way that we would ever treat a beautiful animal like that so badly. Brilliant Blog Thank you x
