I have come across this and just wondering if anyone in the area can give a home to a couple of chickens or more:

from Nuneaton & Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary:-

'URGENT Can anybody rescue some laying hens? There's a farm out in Higham on the Hill (Postcode CV13; near Nuneaton) and they are getting rid of 5000 laying hens! The farmers are commercial egg producers so they only keep the hens for 12 months and then they go to slaughter unless they can find them a happy home. The farmer there is really nice and is more than happy for you to go and get 2 or 3 or as many as you want, he really doesn't want them to go for meat he'd rather them find a happy home - but you need to act quick as they are going for slaughter on Wednesday May 22nd! he just wants £2 a bird. These birds will still continue laying for a couple of years so will more than pay for themselves. Please feel free to call the farmer directly - John Terry 01455 213115'

If you know anyone who could help to offer homes, could you pass the information on please?

Thanks so much.

Did you find someone?

If you come across this problem again, you might like to know that there's a charity that deals especially with rehoming battery hens. You could get in touch with them & alert them that there are some needing renaming.
