The Scoop
The British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT) is a charity that helps to rehome chickens across the UK and they are aiming to save 139 chickens this month. The ex-laying hens will be waiting for new homes at an event held on Sunday 19th of January in Boncath. BHWT started back in 2005 and has rehomed close to 1 million hens. At the time of writing, it appears many people have stepped forward to rehome hens using the Boncath link on the BHWT website, with 9 caged hens still needing homes.

Unfortunately, if the hens do not find a new home there is a high chance they will be sent for slaughter and that is why BHWT are working hard to find new homes for the hens. A flock of three or four hens (BHWT rehomes them in groups of three or more) will typically provide their new owner with “a couple of eggs a day for breakfast”, says Francesca Mapp, BHWT’s marketing consultant.
As Pembrokeshire County Council prepares its new well-being objectives for people and communities, you have a chance to give your views on the proposals. The objectives set out by the council show how the authority will make a difference in improving the well-being of local people and communities.
