The Littlehill Animal Rescue & Sanctuary are organising another transport run to help save hens from all over Ireland being slaughtered.
The animal charity have been organising these runs to provide homes for hens who would be slaughtered otherwise due to their lack of productivity after 18 months.
The cost to adopt a hen is €6, and those who come along to the transport run to take a hen are asked to bring adequate sturdy cardboard boxes, with air holes, or preferably cat carriers, with one carrier able to carry two hens. The group have said that they will not give hens without suitable travelling containers. People have also been asked to bring some water and food on the day as these hens will be starving and thirsty.
Those interested in booking a hen can do so by contacting the LittleHill facebook page, and for those who don't have social media accounts, they can contact the LittleHill helpline via text on 0877754399.
Here are the details on the transport run which will take place this Saturday and Sunday, and on the following Saturday too.
