The charity rehoming day on Sunday calls on hen lovers to step forward this Hallowe’en weekend.

Andy Ball, local co-ordinator for the charity, said: “There’s nothing spooky about our hens, they make wonderful endearing pets and soon settle into family life.

“If you haven’t adopted hens before, it’s incredibly rewarding and the feel-good factor in saving their lives is simply unbeatable - the supply of fresh laid eggs is just an added bonus.”

Contact the rehoming team at Hen Central on 01884 860084 or visit www.bhwt.org.uk for more information.
