Titch is an ex-battery hen, who spent the first eighteen months of her life living in a tiny cage at a commercial egg laying factory in the United Kingdom. Titch was rescued from slaughter by the British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT). Since relocating out of the city and into a 2.5 acre home in rural Norfolk, Nicky Cullum and her son, Peter, decided to participate in the BHWT’s ex-battery rehoming programme. In 2014, they adopted Ginger, Nutmeg and Cinnamon. In July 2015, Nicky decided to rescue a couple more hens through the BHWT, which is how she came to know Titch.

Scallops is a four year-old golden-laced Wyandotte hen. She has been a resident of Hen Harbor (HH) Sanctuary for just over two years. Scallops and two other hens, were abandoned by a backyard chicken owner who refused to care for them anymore. Over the past two years, Scallops has tended to stay under the radar, spending the majority of her time hanging out with the other egg factory farm hens and one of the hens that she originally came with to HH. Scallops' Clinical Signs Scallops had her own special roosting spot in the chicken coop. Each night, she roosted on the highest perch, in the area directly adjacent the light switch.
