Thousands of hens need new homes this August across England, Wales and Scotland.

The British Hen Welfare Trust has published a list of locations where Hens will be available this August.

Over 1,050,106 hens have been re-homed since 2005.

Founded by Jane Howorth, the underlying principles of the BHWT are, and always have been, to approach laying hen welfare with a level-headed, pragmatic style, preferring to inform rather than shock people when it comes to raising awareness. 

It is this approach which saw Jane awarded an MBE for her work in 2016 and resulted in the BHWT being named JustGiving’s Charity of the Year in 2018.

Here are a list of locations where hens are available to rehome in August 2025.
