Meet The Hens

Orange rescue hens inside their chicken coop.

Why we love OUR Hens

Our main chicken flock are ex-commercial layers. They come to us from farms where they are kept until they are 72 weeks of age, when egg production starts to decline.​ These lucky hens were saved from​ slaughter by the British Hen Welfare​ Trust and will live out the rest of their days here at Spitalfields City Farm. They continue to lay a steady supply of eggs, which we sell in our Farm Shop.
