 |  | | | Battery Hens Rescue | 2 July 2004 | | |
Have you ever thought of adopting... a hen?
Jane Howarth used to work for a magazine until she upped sticks and moved to Devon to rescue battery hens. After 52 weeks in the battery cages, the hens are sent for slaughter, but with a bit of care, poorly hens can be nursed back to health and become wonderful pets.
Jane intends her project to become a national scheme, and she recently got support from Prince Charles who wrote in praise of her efforts.
Reporter Rachel Ellison went to Chumleigh in Devon to watch the rescue.
