Shop ‘til you drop

We were delighted that over half (56%) of you have used our online shop and left some wonderful comments. Thank you for sharing more about the feed and bedding brands you use for your hens, as this information helps guide what we choose to sell.

One customer, Lily, told us: "I trust the BHWT to sell only high-quality products that will be good for my hens. As a new hen owner, I am still learning a lot about hen husbandry, so this means a lot to me.”

You and your hens

Nothing warms our hearts more than hearing how much you love your hens and enjoy spending time with them. It seems they love ‘helping’ with the garden as 82% said this was one of your favourite ways to be with them.

Owen added: “I like just spending time with them, watching them and learning about their individual personalities and how they interact with each other. Better than any soap!”

Finally, we asked what your favourite thing was about keeping hens, and it’s safe to say we were all smiling reading your wonderful answers! Here are just a few:

“They never cease to surprise and amuse. Both my cats are terrified of them. Betty loves to chase them and steal their food. They are brave and far more intelligent than they are given credit for.”

“Seeing them roam free in the orchard. Doing what’s natural like scratching and pecking. Chasing flies around and never catching them. Can almost see them smiling!”

Thank you

As a thank you, one of our respondents was picked at random to win a £20 Higgidy voucher. We only wish we could give each of you a little something as we are so grateful for your continued support and input.
