Oldham Fresh Start For Hens

Please see the notice below regarding the suspension of rehoming.

We are really disappointed to be in this position, however have to be responsible given the prevelance of Avian Influenza nationally at the moment.

As the position changes, an update will be posted here. 🐔

Avian influenza (bird flu) How to spot avian influenza (bird flu), what to do if you suspect it, and measures to prevent it.

If you’re unsure how to maintain your chicken’s health over the winter, here’s some great tips!

A super huge thank you to all that shared, rehomed, helped, volunteered and kept me sane! Every single hen has now gone off to her new home and 🤞🤞 all those new hen parents are happy with their girls. Thank you

Wakey wakey rise and shine! We are on site at today’s farm getting some lucky enriched cage ladies collected to make their way to their new homes!

Can anyone help? He’s only just over the hill 🏔

This beautiful young man is approx 16 weeks old, is a Buff Orpington X Cream Crested Legbar and is hand reared and friendly. He’s the product of a school hatching project (😡) and is looking for a nice home with his own flock of ladies. If you can offer him a home please contact me ASAP as he can come to mine this Saturday during my Rehoming. He’s free to a good FSFH home and if things don’t work out we can promise a no questions asked returns policy.
I’d seriously consider keeping him myself but think the OH might have something to say.

If anyone has space for some in their garden, head over to the Fresh Start For Hens website and get some reserved!

We need your help again!

There are around 2000 organic hens who need homes for next weekends rehome on the 26th June from the collection points below.

It’s duck eve!

I’m at the hotel ready for a very civilised (by Fresh Start standards) 0730 start tomorrow 😊

This time next week, hundreds of these lovely Cherry Valley ducks will be waking up ready to head off to their forever homes.

All these lucky ladies are reserved now, but keep your eyes peeled for dates in the future!

One of our collection points had a small technical issue today….. 🐔 🏠 🤦‍♂️

Did you know that we rehome cockerels as well as ladies? We have lots of stunning bits available and we can move them to your local collection point anywhere in the country….!

Nearly there!

It’s time for the henvoy! If you’ve got chickens reserved with us today, we are on our way for them 🐔

Mad rush around after work to get a van and off to the farm I go….! Chickens this week and ducks next 🐔 🦆

We are always on the look out for more volunteers to help these feathered ladies find their perfect retirement homes.... all expenses are covered by FSFH - all it “costs” you is a little time!

If you fancy getting involved, then please get in touch 😀🎉😀

If you’ve got hens to collect from one of our collection points today, then they’re en-route to you as we speak. 🐔

This was the first ever farm I went to for a rehome in 2017.... I rattled my way down there in a battered old 7.5t truck with a very dodgy fuel gauge and rattled my way all the way back! It was long and tiring, but really enjoyable. I got cake from Deborah Eastwood too! 🍰

It’s 4.30am and I am waiting for the HENVOY to arrive to give our next lot of beautiful hard working girls there much deserved retirement ❤️ thank you in advance to all of you who have committed to rehome them today, you are complete super stars ⭐️

Wow! Who would have thought chicken keeping was so scientific.... 🐔

The ducks are getting booked up really quickly! If you’re considering some feathered additions to your garden, don’t hang around....

We aren’t open for this rehome, however there are LOADS of collection points open nationwide for this date.

6000 hens in a day is the most we have ever done - so we need lots of lovely retirement homes for them!

Welcome to Oldham Fresh Start For Hens!

We are a new collection point- please like and share our page with those who you think may like to adopt some of our hard working retiring ladies 🐔🦆

Thanks :)
