Yes, it is hard, but there is no time to get sentimental, getting the hens out is the priority, and it is hard work. Only a few people actually go to the farms, and it is frowned upon if you start to cry, or make comments about how the hens are kept ......thats not what we are there for. We have a good relationship with the farmer, and do not want to jeopardise that, nor interfere with his work, so the hens are moved as quick as possible.
Thats not good of the hen rescue not to at least come back to you - we appreciate helpers, whether it be area co ordinators, drivers, or even someone to just store a few crates. New co ordinators are always wanted in different areas. The more places we cover, the more hens we can help.
