British Hen Welfare Trust – Rehoming Day Volunteer (SO31)

About this opportunity

Could you be a Rehoming Day Helper?

This is a real chance to get hands-on with hens. You’ll be in the thick of it during rehoming days: collecting hens from the farm, checking them over and handing them over to adopters. All of this demands a certain level of fitness, but it is one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day. You will be literally taking hens from their old life and to a new one of free-range retirement.

Our Hampshire rehoming site is at Manor Farm, SO31 1BH – own transport is required to get to the site.

About the role

  • Loading hens at the farm.
  • Unloading hens at the re-homing point.
  • Lifting heavy crates.
  • Crate cleaning.

About you

  • You want to get ‘hands on hens’.
  • You are able to follow instructions.
  • Ensure biosecurity guidelines are adhered to.
  • Ensure health and safety protocols are followed.
  • You are conversant with and supportive of the aims of the BHWT.

About BHWT

Picture the scene: Wembley Stadium filled with chickens. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? Now picture that number of chickens 10 times over and you’ll be looking at the number of hens rehomed to date by the British Hen Welfare Trust. That’s over 1,029,204 hens since 2005 who have enjoyed love, fresh air and a free-range retirement that most of their commercial counterparts could only dream of. 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.
