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.

'Invisible boy' Malachi was failed again and again until his brutal death
The torture and murder of 5-year-old Malachi Subecz is a “national disgrace” but changes made in the wake of his death will not prevent further killings in the future.
The damning view of Coroner Janet Anderson is revealed in a long-awaited 132-page report into one of New Zealand’s most shocking child-killings - the 2021 death of Malachi at the hands of his ‘caregiver’, Michaela Barriball.
