Ex Battery Hens

[Clairemarie1982]

Hi! We currently have chickens, ducks and geese. For the longest time I have wanted to adopt some ex battery hens. I cannot for life of me find out where or how to do this. It seems so difficult. I am located in middle TN but willing to drive a bit. Thanks in advance. -Claire

You might start here, I believe this website has a line in on battery hens, but don't quote me on this... http://www.adoptabirdnetwork.com/chicken-sanctuaries-list.php

Have you tried calling the number on the egg carton at stores? I wish you luck, but between contracts and biosecurity it probably won't happen in the US.

Hi no I have not. We haven’t bought eggs in several years and I didn’t even know there was a phone number on the cartons. I will check that out. Thank you.

Might not be a phone number, but must have some sort of contact info.

I’m also in middle Tennessee and looking for down the line. Did you ever find a place to adopt them?
