A CHANCE to rehome former commercial hens will take place in Tilehurst on Saturday, April 22.
The group Reading Fresh Start For Hens is holding the event between noon and 5pm at an undisclosed location.
Volunteers help find new homes for the birds who would otherwise be slaughtered and used in dog food, baby food or processed pies. The charity buys the hens for rehoming.
They say people don’t need a big garden and they appreciate a donation of £2.75 per hen to cover costs. Rehoming dates continue across the year, and people should register before attending.
