Brown Shaver/Hyline Ex-Battery Hens - Laying Machines!

We have a small number of rescue hens available each week, located in Ngaruawahia.

These hens are 12 to 18 months old and have been caged for the entirety of their lives up until coming to us so please be aware that they will have feathers missing and it will take some time for them to reach their peak condition.

All hens are given rehabilitation time to ensure they are getting the best possible care as they transition from cage to free-range life.

Before leaving with you they will know how to walk, eat and drink, and where to go to sleep like normal hens! (Although please note battery hens rarely ever learn to roost - so a suitable house must be provided with nesting boxes on the floor, or very low perches for them to access).

Each hen is de-wormed and de-mited before rehoming along with nail and beak trims if necessary.

(De-worming and de-miting product also available through us - message to enquire).


These hens will also need a high quality high protein feed - in turn you will be rewarded with beautiful healthy hens and an abundance of eggs for years to come!

(We also have feed available! 25kg for $30!)



Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Price: $20

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
