Spring has nearly sprung and with Easter imminent we get our priorities straight and talk chocolate and eggs!

Easter also makes us think about chicks and whilst we all love their cute fluffiness, we are keen to see progress in preventing the unwanted hatching of billions within the egg industry. You’ll find an update on P8.

Talking of cute, Evie Walker introduces our new Egg Club pack, and check out our jolly collection box; it’d look great next to your spare eggs and your hens could help more hens. A concept we really like.

Did you know that the Manic Street Preachers have a new album coming out? We interview band member and animal lover, Nicky Wire. We also announce our two cracking Good Egg Cup Award winners, showcase our learning programme, and have some gorgeous hen stories.

And did I mention that we have a fab-u-lous HEN HOUSE COMPETITION? See P16 for details on how to enter … you owe it to your hens to have a go!

Finally are the biscuits on our front cover not some of the prettiest you’ve seen?! Details can be found within these pages, so please get yourself a cuppa and tuck into our freshly laid news.

Scrambled, fried, poached, in a cake – we love eggs, but in a drink? That’s a new one on us. PECK drinks are 66% egg whites and, as such, are packed with protein. They come in three different flavours: strawberry and lime, mango and passionfruit, and raspberry and blueberry. They sound delicious, and what's really clever about these nutritional drinks is

We all know the morning routine. We wake up, bleary eyed, and rush around with barely any time to eat, let alone wash up after ourselves. Enter, the OXO Microwave Egg Cooker!

they make use of second-grade eggs deemed not good enough for the supermarkets. They are the brainchild of free range farmer Matthew Havers who wanted to find a use for the eggs he could not sell. He even built a new factory specifically to make his product. PECK drinks are priced at £12.99 for six 250ml bottles and are available from www.peckdrinks.com. We have a feeling they’re going to be popular...

OK so we were sneaky and put the last Golden Egg on the front cover to flummox you, and it did! Nevertheless, we had lots of entries and Catherine Pollard was the lucky winner.

The spring competition starts right now! Find the Golden Egg and email [email protected] letting us know which page it’s on before 30 April and you could bag a bundle of Feathers & Beaky goodies. This will include 15kg Layers Pellets, two 5kg Chicken Grit bags and a 5kg Chicken Treat bag.

The British Hen Welfare Trust is always keen to report developments in welfare, so we are letting you know that improvements are emerging in a number of ways. In Ovo, a Dutch poultry specialist has developed a way to sex chicks at embryo stage. Their research has revealed that by taking a drop of fluid extracted from a 0.4mm hole in the shell, differences between the fluid in males and females can be determined. These differences can be measured in a second, and the process can be used to prevent a male chick from hatching. In Ovo hopes their cost-effective method will lead to the end of manual sexing for hatcheries.

A completely different approach is being taken in Switzerland where ‘dual-purpose’

birds have been marketed since 2014 by supermarket chain Coop. Research carried out with Swiss shoppers revealed that awareness of male chick culling was low. However, once informed, consumers confirmed they would willingly pay a higher price for meat and eggs from dual-purpose birds to avoid unnecessary slaughter. However, the birds come at a price for shoppers wanting to take the ethical route, with eggs costing 21% more than organic, which, in turn, cost 41% more than ‘conventional’ eggs.

As a charity we welcome all efforts to end this unnecessary slaughter, and we will keep you posted on future developments.

Male chick slaughter

Everyone would agree that all chicks are cute but, whilst females at least have a 50/50 chance of free ranging for a year, the immediate culling of all male

chicks remains a highly sensitive topic.

Let’s face it – chocolate is great. It’s hard not to walk into a supermarket and feel the anticipation of Easter with shelves stacked full of shiny eggs.

The first chocolate Easter eggs were created in the 19th century, with Cadbury introducing its first egg in 1875. By 1893 there were 19 different variations; a figure dwarfed by today's multitude of

chocolate egginess. So how popular are chocolate eggs? We've got the stats!

Fabulously Fun Easter Eggstracts

We get a four day weekend, there’s chocolate everywhereand it also marks the start of spring. Who doesn’t love Easter?!

So, put your feet up with a cuppa and a creme egg (or a fried one!)and swot up on our dozen fun Easter facts.

have a small outdoor area plus courtyard based on the fact that hens are fearful of exposed, open land and would rather forage among covered areas.

Kipster eggs are currently available in Dutch Lidl and expanding across the Netherlands, with the team aiming to export in the near future.

A statement on Kipster’s website celebrates their farms where “the chickenis allowed to be a chicken again, and the environment is spared as much as possible”. We like that ethos.


French company, Poulehouse, is working towards developing a successful egg business by letting hens live on, and keep laying, beyond 18 months to the end of their natural lives.

Most commercial hens across the globe are sent to slaughter at the end of their productive lives. However, as our supporters well know, given the chance, hens have lots of life, and eggs, left to give. It is this continued production which Poulehouse hopes to build on.

Founded last year, Poulehouse purchases eggs from point of lay through until the hens would usually go for slaughter. At this point Poulehouse take the hens and let them live out their days. There are currently around 650 hens at the Poulehouse shelter, but founder Fabien Sauleman believes this number could quickly reach 9,000.

Poulehouse funds its work by charging an increased price for the eggs and whilst the product is unlikely to dominate a substantial share of the market, it is clear

Making strides in animal welfare

The UK is generally known to be a world leader when it comes to animal welfare, which is why we are staunch supporters of the British free range egg industry. Strides are also being made across Europe and beyond, and below

are a few innovators we consider good eggs.

people are willing to pay the price tag knowing the hens can continue to enjoy a free range life. Poulehouse has sold 250,000 eggs to date, and we hope its efforts continue long into the future.

Also going above and beyond in the name of hen welfare is a Dutch farm producing ‘kipster’ eggs. The idea is to produce carbon-neutral eggs at what is billed the world’s most environmentally friendly farm, also called Kipster. Moreover the Kipster team believe it is entirely possible to maintain high animal welfare standards as well as environmental integrity.

Picture a super modern commercial unit comprising 1,097 solar panels overhead and a covered courtyard where hens can run and hide among trees and wooded areas, described as an ‘indoor playground’, and you have Kipster farm. There are 6.7 hens per square metre, (typical free range units allow 9 hens per square metre), and whilst not technically free range, they

Caroline loves personalising her biscuits, so we couldn’t let the opportunity pass us by to have some BHWT branding on our front cover!

Every single person who re-homes our hens is a Good Egg. We can’t emphasise that enough. We are truly grateful to each and every one of you for the compassion you show towards your girls. They’re the luckiest hens alive.

There are, however, some supporters who go above and beyond which is why we came up with our Good Egg Cup Award. These are handed out to two deserving winners each year who have devoted themselves to hen welfare and made us stop and say “wow”! So, let us introduce 2018’s winners…

Elizabeth GathererThe eagle-eyed among you may recognise Lizzie’s name, for it was her and husband, Ky, who invited their two ex-bats to be ring bearers at their wedding! An award-winning gesture in itself which raised funds as well as awareness, Lizzie's efforts had only just begun. Not only has she been a volunteer for several years, she has cared for those needing extra TLC,

has appeared in several high profile magazines, and has recently put her learning programme training to good use by visiting schools in her area to teach children about ex-bats. We don’t know where she finds the time, along with running her own wedding business, but we’re very glad she does. Well done from all of us at the BHWT.

Yvonne BrunotteWell, where do we begin with Yvonne? Let’s start by clarifying that a) she lives in Hamburg and b) she doesn’t keep hens of her own. Which makes her complete and utter devotion to the BHWT even more astonishing. From the most innovative fundraising events, including a Cracking Christmas Tombola, a fab fifties birthday bash and selling delicious jams and chutneys, to selling her iPhone to raise funds for us, Yvonne’s creativeness never fails to amaze. She has raised thousands to help save our feathered friends from slaughter which is why she is the perfect candidate for our Good Egg Award.

Anyone who has given their friends, family, neighbours or work colleagues home-grown eggs is helping spread the message of hen welfare, and encouraging people to shop free range. There are already many supporters doing this, but we’d love to sign more of you up to our Egg Club so your hens can help more hens!

To help get your club up and laying we’ve put together a new pack which includes a few simple steps, a dinky donation box and some stickers so everyone knows where their eggs have come from and where their donations are going to.

We hope you will want to join our popular Egg Club whose members have raised over £11,000 to help save more hens from going to slaughter. Visit www.bhwt.org.uk/ information/join-the-bhwt-egg-club to find out more. Just fill out the simple form and we’ll be in touch with your pack.

Hens helping hens!Every ex-bat is an ambassador

for other hens, and every flock re-homed acts as a little educational pack, spreading the word to

help save more hens. One of the ways your hens at home can make a difference to others is by doing

what comes naturally, by laying eggs.

We couldn’t talk about our Egg Club without talking about our super adorable poster girl now, could we?! We first featured Evie in spring 2017 (how time flies!), and now the Egg Club has its new look, complete with Evie’s gorgeous photos, we thought it fair that Evie tells us what she thinks of it all:

"When Mummy told me I had been asked to be the Egg Club ambassador I was really surprised and happy. I told my class all about it during ‘show and tell’ and they were surprised too." "I feel really proud to see my photo and it is really special and important to me to know I am helping to save more of those lovely little feathery girls and letting them live happily ever after out of their cages!"

"Mrs Lovelyhugs, who you’ll hear about on the Egg Club leaflet, is our softest hen. She has very silky feathers now, and is a little bit chubby as she always gobbles up the treats I give her! She lays us lovely eggs but is having a little break for winter at the moment and we hope she will start laying again soon! Mrs Lovelyhugs would be so pleased and happy to know that she is helping her friends. I think she would give me an even bigger cuddle than she normally does and would say thank you!"

As it’s nearly Easter, we asked Evie if she has any plans involving her hens and her eggs, and here’s what she told us:

"As well as eating lots of chocolate eggs I am planning to help Mummy make cakes and treats for Easter Sunday tea when my family come around. We will use the eggs from our hens in our cakes, my favourite part of baking is going into the hen house and collecting some fresh eggs. I always say thank you to the girls and give them a little cuddle!"

World Egg Day on 13 October last year marked not just an opportunity to revel in all things eggy, but also the launch of the brand new BHWT Learning Programme. Since then, children in schools up and down the country have been eggsperiencing the delights of meeting ex-bats, and we thought we’d ask them, as well as our wonderful volunteers, what they thought of the programme. And hopefully inspire some of you, our readers, to get involved too!

First up is South Molton Primary School in Devon, where the programme was launched with our Claws, Wings and Other Things workshop being presented to a class of around 30 Year 2 pupils. After the workshop, teacher Nicola Ford told us: “The workshopwas brilliant because we’ve been talkingabout life cycles and what makes us human and there were lots of links with the curriculum. It was lovely watching the children talking to and stroking the hens in the classroom.”

Proving the diversity of the programme, a workshop was also recently given at Little Brickhill Home Educators Group in Milton Keynes, where a reception class enjoyed hearing all about Amazing Eggs.

Group leader, Charlene Underwood, told us afterwards that children of all ages

enjoyed the presentation. “The children loved meeting the hens so much that we had to tell them to stop talking and pay attention, however this was more due to excitement as the hens were walking about the room!”

Well, we can’t really blame them for getting eggcited now, can we?!

We also caught up with BHWT Good Egg Cup Award winner, Lizzie Gatherer, after hosting one of several workshops since the programme launched: “It was an amazing feeling to take two of my hens into a classroom and see them through other people's eyes. For a lot of these children, it was their first time seeing a hen close up and they were so happy to be able to stroke them. They all said how soft my girls were!” Lizzie added: “If you are unsure, or nervous about signing up, don't be. Children never cease to amaze me with how welcoming they are to visitors and how eager they are to learn, especially when you have a feathered friend or two by your side.”

Flying the British egg flag

Daylesford Organic Farm


They employ strong animal welfare ethics and part of their mission is to ‘reverse the industrialisation of food’. Daylesford also has its own restaurant where the eggs don’t come fresher and their Soil Association approved restaurants have won the coveted, Sustainable Restaurant of the Year, awarded by the Sustainable Restaurant Association, two years on the run. High praise indeed. At Daylesford you can find a flock of around 500 Cotswold Blue Legbar hens,

a rare Gloucestershire breed, free ranging on 30 acres of green pasture. At the end of their laying life the hens are re-homed by us, and you may like to know that their eggs received a 2 Star Gold award at the Great Taste Awards in 2011. Unsurprising when you consider they're fed on a GM-free, organic, forage-based diet grown on the farm itself. If it sounds pretty good, that's because it is. You can even stay at Daylesford Organic Farm, which has a range of honey-coloured stone cottages. We think the Egg Store sounds the most appropriate cottage for BHWT supporters and as well as tempting accommodation we can’t think of a nicer break than to spend it surrounded by hens. Well done Daylesford for giving your hens a good life, as well as a happy ending.

Daylesford Organic Farm in Gloucestershire has been farming organically for over 25 years and has won

dozens of international awards for its work.


Manic Street Preachers fans have a reason to rejoice. The Welsh trio will be releasing their first album in four

years, Resistance is Futile, on 16 April 2018.

The band has also recently been confirmed for UK festivals including Isle of Wight and the BBC’s Biggest

Weekend, to add to their list of 2018 tour dates.

As such, they’re pretty busy. However we managed to grab five minutes with bassist and vocalist

Nicky Wire, whose mum is a supporter of ours, for a round of quick-fire questions.

CELEBRITY sCOOP

Manic Street Preachers' bassist Nicky Wire

1. Hi Nicky! Congratulations on the upcoming release of your 13th Manics album – the first in four years! What kept you all waiting so long?!

We had to move studios from Cardiff to near Newport which was time consuming. Also we needed to find a new way to communicate musically and lyrically.

2. What have been the major influences on Resistance is Futile?

For me, inspiration has come from walking, listening to Radio 4, David Bowie, Abba and my parents.

3. In October it was rumoured that you may never release another album. How did Resistance is Futile come about?

The album is a result of dedication, inspiration, long hours and hard work.

4. Congrats also on your upcoming UK arena tour. What can fans expect from your live performances?

Our shows will be visually stimulating and made up of old songs, new songs and lost songs.

5. Moving on, we understand from your mum (who is a supporter too) that you share her concerns for animal welfare. Is there an area of animal welfare you feel particularly passionate about?

I always listen to my mother – whatever she tells me I believe. I love animals, and have done since being a small child.

6. Speaking of animals, do you currently have any?

I have a miniature dachshund who is very quirky and not very sociable, like myself!

7. Your mum wrote us a particular poignant poem about laying hens – do you and your brother Patrick credit your mum for your way with words?

Books, words and debate have always been a huge part of our family life.

8. Talking about hens, what do you think of the work of the British Hen Welfare Trust?

Your charity seems like a very fine organisation; it’s a phenomenal achievement to have saved the lives of over 600,000 hens – so admirable.

9. We know you’ve not had hens before, but do you fancy one day having a small flock in your back yard?!

I’m not sure what my dachshund would think, but one day I may have some hens, if I have time!

10. Finally, tell us your favourite eggy dish!

My mama’s fried egg and chips – the best meal in the world!

We have a signed copy of National Treasures – The Complete Singles, here at Hen Central, together with a photo of the band, also signed! To be in with a chance of getting your hands on it, we are holding a silent auction – email your bid to us at [email protected] with the title Manic Street Preachers before 31 May. We’ll pick the lucky winner and let you know who it is in the next edition.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring occasionally, until melted.

3. Meanwhile, for the cheesecake mixture, beat together the dark muscovado sugar, vanilla extract, cornflour and 1 egg in a bowl. Gently stir in the soft cheese until mixed. Set aside.

4. In a bowl, beat the remaining 3 eggs. Stir in the chocolate mixture with the light muscovado sugar and flour. Spoon half of this into the tin, then drop in small spoonfuls of the cheesecake mixture. Spoon the remaining chocolate mixture over the top.

Using a chopstick or skewer, lightly ripple the top, then bake for 15 minutes. Scatter over the Mini Eggs and return to the oven for a further 15-20 minutes until set. Set aside to cool in the tin before cutting into 16 squares to serve.

Ingredients

150g butter, plus extra for greasing

150g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

50g dark muscovado sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cornflour

4 medium Waitrose British Blacktail Free Range Eggs

200g essential Waitrose Creamy Soft Cheese

225g light muscovado sugar

75g plain flour

90g bag Cadbury Mini Eggs


Method1. For the prawn casing, heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the shallots for 5 minutes. Transfer to a mixing bowl. In a food processor pulse the prawns to a coarse mix, then add to the shallots with the dill, lemon zest and juice, and spices. Mix well, season, then chill for 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, put the 6 whole eggs into a pan of boiling water and cook at a rolling boil for 6 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water, then shell.

3. Divide the chilled prawn mixture into 6 equal portions. With floured hands roll each into a ball and flatten into a disc. Put a disc in your palm, then put a shelled egg on top and use your other hand to wrap it in the prawn mixture. Set aside, then repeat with the other 5 eggs.

4. Beat the remaining 3 eggs and put in a shallow bowl. Put the breadcrumbs and flour into 2 other separate shallow bowls. Roll a wrapped egg in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs, shaking off the excess at each step. Roll the egg in your hands to press in the crumbs, then repeat with the remaining eggs.

5. Fill a deep heavy-based pan three-quarters full with sunflower oil, then heat to 170°C on a digital probe thermometer (or until a cube of bread turns golden brown in 30-40 seconds). Deep-fry the eggs, 2 at a time, for 6-7 minutes or until deep golden. You may need to turn the eggs in the hot oil to make sure they brown evenly. Serve hot while the egg is still warm and runny, or cool and chill and serve as a snack (see Make Ahead).

Makes 6 Hands-on time 35 min, plus chilling MAKE AHEAD The cooked, chilled, eggs can be stored in the fridge, wrapped in cling film, for 2-3 days.

Ingredients

Sunflower oil for frying

2 banana shallots, finely chopped

500g cooked, peeled sustainable prawns

Handful freshly chopped dill

Zest and juice 1 lemon

½ tsp ground allspice

¼ small nutmeg, grated

9 medium free range eggs

100g plain flour, plus extra to dust

150g fresh fine breadcrumbs

Lemon mousse with candied lemon

Serves 8 Hands-on time 30 min, plus chilling

Ingredients

Finely grated zest 2 lemons and juice 4 large lemons, plus 1 whole lemon

425g caster sugar

3 large free range eggs, plus 3 whites

35g unsalted butter, cubed

2 gelatine leaves, soaked in cold water (we used Costa)

200ml double cream

8 ginger biscuits, broken into pieces

Method1. First, make a lemon curd. Put the lemon zest and juice of 2 lemons in a heatproof glass bowl set over a pan of simmering water (don’t let the water touch the bowl) and warm for 3-4 minutes. Stir in 125g of the sugar and gently heat until dissolved. Strain into a heatproof jug.

2. Whisk 3 whole eggs into the juice, then pour the mix back into the bowl and set over the simmering water. Stir with a spatula for 10-12 minutes in a figure-of-eight motion, scraping the bottom of the bowl so it doesn’t stick and curdle. As it starts to thicken, turn the heat down slightly. It’s ready when the curd drops off the spoon leaving a ribbon trail in the bowl.

MAKE AHEAD Make the mousse up to 24 hours ahead and keep covered in the fridge. It’s best to make the candied lemon just before serving.

3. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the butter. Strain the curd through a fine sieve into a large mixing bowl (see tip), then cover with cling film touching the surface of the curd so it doesn’t form a skin. Leave to cool to room temperature.

4. Put the juice of the other 2 lemons into a small pan and heat until just simmering. Remove from the heat, squeeze the water out of the gelatine, then stir into the hot lemon juice until dissolved. Stir the juice mixture into the lemon curd.

5. In a mixing bowl, whisk the cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the lemon curd. In a large, spotlessly clean bowl whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks when the whisk is removed then, using a large metal spoon, fold into the lemon mixture. Gently spoon the mixture into 8 glasses and chill for 3 hours.

6. Meanwhile, make the candied lemon. Slice the whole lemon into 3mm rounds using a sharp knife. Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the slices for 30 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to kitchen paper to drain, then repeat.

7. Put 250ml cold water and the remaining 300g sugar into a pan over a medium heat. When the sugar has dissolved, add the lemon slices, reduce the heat and cook for 15 minutes. Lay out the slices on a tray lined with baking paper to dry.

8. Serve the chilled mousses with the candied lemon and ginger biscuit pieces.

Three-onion PissaladiéreServes 6

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

A generous knob of butter

2 red onions, sliced

2 large white onions, sliced

6 small shallots, cut into wedges

2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 small bunch of fresh thyme,leaves stripped

A little plain flour, for dusting

375g all-butter puff pastry

2 large sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and thinly sliced

Approx. 15 pitted black olives

1 x 50g tin of anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained and cut in half lengthways

1 medium free range egg, lightly beaten

Salt and freshly ground

black pepper Equipment:

1 shallow rectangular

baking tray, approx. 33cm x 22cm

Method1. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a low heat. Add the red and white onions and the shallots along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes or until soft. 2. Uncover the pan, increase the heat and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes, stirring, until golden. Stir in the garlic and most of the thyme and cook for a final minute, then spoon into a bowl and set aside to cool completely. 3. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6 and put a baking sheet in to heat up. (Your cold baking tray with the pissaladière will need to sit on this to help conduct the heat and cook the pastry.) 4. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out your pastry to about 2mm thick and trim it to fit your baking tray. Score a border around the edge, about 2cm in from the sides. Spoon the golden onions over the centre of your pastry, spreading them out to the border in an even layer. Scatter with the sun-dried tomatoes and olives, then lay the anchovy fillets over the top in a lattice pattern. 5. Brush the pastry border with a little beaten egg and place the baking tray in the oven, on the hot baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp. Sprinkle with a few more fresh thyme leaves and serve.

Stars of the monthEvery day you send us such lovely, endearing photos of your hens,

and here are just a few which caught our eye.

STAR OF THE MONTH ‘Girly Girl’ here is so called because she arrived at her new home complete with a dirty bottom, resulting in the need for a bath or, as her new keepers called it, a ‘spa day’! Needless to say her new mum, Theressa Smith, fell totally in love with Girly Girl after three days. Ah … the power of ex-bats.

STAR OF THE MONTH In a break from the norm, one of our stars of the month this issue is not a chicken, but the Hatcher Animal Welfare Trust, set up by Roberta Hatcher who loved animals. We are extremely grateful to the Trust who recently donated £15,000 to fund new crates for our re-homing days in memory of Roberta Hatcher, and we hope she would be proud of our achievements.


It is not uncommon after a re-homing day for the team at Hen Central to receive a photo of a hen with a red bottom. Worried adopters often think that the hen is about to prolapse or has an egg stuck (exposed bottoms can have a rather egg-shaped look about them), but generally a red bottom is nothing to worry about. Caged hens are often poorly feathered and this lack of feathering accentuates a bottom that would go unnoticed if she had a full set of fluffy knickers. The redness is due to feather pecking by other hens, exposure to the elements and/or bare bottomed contact with the ground. In most cases this redness will subside as the hen starts to lead a free range life with new feather quills erupting to provide her with a shiny new set of feathers. If you are concerned about curious pecking by other flock members, a coloured antiseptic spray can be used to protect the redness; your hen won’t mind having a blue or purple bottom for a few weeks.

Red bottoms

Easter for many means it’s time to turn attention to those neglected back gardens. When the skies turn blue and the sun pokes its head out there’s nothing better than pottering around sorting out flower

beds while your feathered friends cluck at your feet.

With that in mind, why not plant some herbs for your hens? We’ve teamed up with Dobies who have developed an exclusive range of

four Herby Hen Seed Collections.

Better yet, for every collection sold £1 comes back to the charity to help more hens. And supporters can get 10% off the range with an extra 5% coming back to us! If that’s not

gardening goals we don’t know what is.

The entire range is made up of herbs your girls can eat, lucky things! It includes

an insecticide collection, a health collection, an egg collection and

a general maintenance collection.

Seed for thought?

Gaynor’s Tips

There is nothing more enchanting than seeing a hen having a really vigorous dust bath. My own hens choose the dry soil underneath some trees where they create craters resembling the surface of the moon. Often when I approach I can just see the top of a comb sticking up before a shower of soil is flung up into the air. My hens know that this is the best way to clean their feathers and keep parasites at bay. For those without a dry sheltered area, a homemade dust bath consisting of wood ash, diatomaceous earth and multi -purpose compost in an old cat litter tray works equally well. This behaviour is so instinctive that even a hen without any feathers will dust bath and go through the same procedure as her better feathered sisters. The two naked ladies above are about to take the plunge; to see them in action search for British Hen Welfare Trust on YouTube and visit our channel.

Natural behaviour


The home of healthy chickens

Is she sick? Check whether your hen is drinking and eating normally. Then look for any other abnormal behaviours. Is she being bullied by other hens? If so, it may be best to separate the bullies temporarily. Also check her vent to see whether or not she is laying. A sudden break in laying may mean she has become ‘egg bound’, which is a fairly serious condition and may require veterinary assistance. Also consider whether just one of your birds is behaving abnormally or several. Some contagious diseases can spread rapidly between birds.

The Chicken Vet Are you worried about

your hen's health?

Check your husbandry Good husbandry will go a very long way in preventing disease in the first place, and can also bring birds back to good health when mild disease has crept in to the flock. Water should be clean and fresh, and replaced at least once every day. Birds must be fed on appropriate diets - commercial layer rations are best - with minimal treats. Mixed grit (soluble and insoluble grit) should be given ad lib to help with digestion and egg shell quality. Be sure that the coop environment is as clean as possible. Hens should have dry, fresh bedding such as wood shavings and clean straw in nest boxes. Also, be sure to check crevices and corners of the coop for red mite, which can irritate the birds and spread disease.

It’s human nature to worry about our pets, but often there are simple explanations for a change in behaviour. When it comes to your hens, there are some common signs of ailment or sickness to be aware of.

Chicken ChatYour Letters

Keith Fleming: This is Lilly (in the hat) with her best friends. Her grandad, Keith Fleming, told us: “Rowena and Luna settled in very quickly when they joined Willma and Nick our elder-hen. Within two hours they were exploring the garden and learning to scratch for juicy morsels. They always run down the garden to greet us whenever we open the door and have really enriched our lives. Thank you for the great work that you do; we are encouraging all our friends to rescue hens too.”

This photo was sent in by BHWT supporter Shona Young. She told us: “Here’s Bara showing Coll that sometimes it’s just easier to stand on your tippy toes and stretch!”

Examine the bird A short examination is a good idea. A re-homed commercial layer should weigh around 2kg. Check whether she is in respiratory distress, which is shown by excessively laboured breathing or open beak ‘panting’. It is useful to assess the birds' ‘crop’, an out-pouching of the oesophagus that sits at the base of the bird’s neck to the right hand side. If you think the crop is abnormal, re-assess four hours later when it should naturally have emptied into the stomach. If it still feels abnormal then it would be best to seek veterinary assistance.

Check your hen over for signs of wounds. Minor wounds can heal but other birds in the flock will be attracted to peck the wound and can worsen the injuries easily. Major wounds will require veterinary help. Look at your hen’s feathering; she may look sick but could just be going through a natural moult process. If your hen has lost a lot of feathers but is otherwise well within herself, there is rarely anything to worry about, but be sure to check whether or not other birds are feather pecking her and deal with this if necessary.

Droppings and diarrhoea If a hen has diarrhoea but is still active, then consider adding a beneficial supplement to the diet, such as ‘Biostop’, which contains tannins to slow intestinal passage, or ‘oregano plus’, which contains essential oils to help calm down intestinal upsets. These products are available from the Chicken Vet website.

If a hen has diarrhoea and is lethargic or reluctant to eat and drink then she will most likely require veterinary intervention and a short course of antibiotics. Follow the course of antibiotics with a course of probiotics such as ‘Beryls Friendly Bacteria’ (www.chickenvet.co.uk), as this will help birds repopulate their intestines with friendly bacteria.

Further help If you are still concerned about the health of your birds, contact a local veterinary practice which is confident in dealing with backyard birds. The location of your nearest chicken-friendly practice can be found using the practice finder on the Chicken Vet website.

Social Scraps


And Finally...

Some of you may recognise little Jennifer here from our Christmas Appeal. She arrived with a bald bottom and sore skin, but went to live out a life of luxury with our founder, Jane, and has

been thoroughly spoilt ever since.

Jennifer’s day now starts with a hand-fed warm mash whilst seated on Jane’s lap; she then spends her time with beautiful best friend,

Buff Orpington Hetty, and snacks on sweetcorn before retiring. No wonder Jennifer’s feathers have returned and she is back to looking her best. Jennifer is one of the lucky ones, and we’d like to know if you have a happy hen

that may fit our ‘And Finally …’ slot. If so, email [email protected].
