Beesfield Hen Sanctuary We offer a forever home to hens who are unwanted, poorly or disabled, or lone hens needing some friends to flock with.

I love to see hens making new friends when they join us.
Maggie (left) joined us recently as she had survived a fox attack. We popped her into our bantam flock and she now sits and chats to Jett ❤️
I often wonder what they talk about.

This morning, with a very heavy heart, I took the decision that it was time to say goodbye to Peggy 😔. She had nearly lost all vision and was going downhill and clearly suffering.
One of the bravest hens we have ever known, she came to us nearly 3 years ago as an ex-commercial hen. She had a bad injury from farm machinery and lost her foot. This didn’t stop her enjoying life at all. She would come hopping fast down the hill when we called her name. She lived her retired life to the full.
Nest in Peace Peggy, now back with Maureen and Carnation. We will always miss you ###

Time for a cuddle with Peggy.

She’s having a tough time regrowing all her feathers from her recent moult. You can see her wing and tail feathers are just coming through. Plenty of extra protein, vitamins and minerals to help her. I’ll have to turn a blind eye when she finishes the cat’s breakfast!!

Please welcome - Sheep (main pic) then top to bottom, Fig, Neda and Jude.
These beautiful ladies came from a local commercial egg farm. We never disclose the names of farms where we have contacts that will let us save some hens. These are places with very large numbers of hens (thousands) that are too big for any rescue group to take on.
So these are extra special ladies.

We received a lovely sack of corn last week but have no idea who sent it so can’t thank anyone 😞.
If you are out there and reading this then a big thank you from us and the hens 🥰xx

This is the post I have dreaded writing but knew the time would come.
Beautiful Maureen has been going downhill slowly, her neurological problems couldn’t be fixed. Recently she took a big step downhill and, like once before, I had to tube feed her to keep her going. This time it wasn’t going to be enough, her little body had had enough, and I made the decision to take her to the vets. We had a long cuddle and she is now at peace.
Fly high little Maureen and catch up with your friend Camilla xx

I am trying to work out what percentage of time looking after a hen sanctuary is taken up by cleaning? I’m thinking over 90%. Lowveld Poultry Sanctuary what do you think?
However, moments with the hens when you have a cuppa make it all worthwhile.
This morning I’m with Maureen while she has brunch 🥰
