A CHARITY is hoping to build on the success of last year and re-home more chickens than ever in 2019.
The British Hen Welfare Trust is holding its first hen-giveaway of the new year in Didcot on Sunday, January 20.
Some 200 ex-caged hens are waiting to be saved from the slaughterhouse.
In 2018 the charity experienced its best year ever, re-homing 70,130 hens over 12 months, 2,349 of which were given homes in Oxford.
