Story of Our Lives

This is the story of our lives. We are two 'ex-batt' hens rescued from a commercial battery farm in Cape Town and now living as backyard free-range hens. Our new caretakers have named us "Hope" (brown hen) and "Love" (white hen)

The Arrival of Hope and Love

22 November 2013

Our rescuer, Nix from Rescue Battery Hens - Cape Town collected us from the battery farm, intercepting our doomed fate of being culled because we were no longer considered to be in our prime for optimal commercial farm egg laying. There were 33 of us, all destined for homes with keen adopters. We were the first to be delivered to our new home that day. Our new owner, a first time hen caretaker greeted us on arrival. An avery in the backyard was to be our new coop... a safe haven for us until we adjust.
