Have we got a treat for you! One of the most amazing things about rescue is seeing sweethearts like Marilyn, rescued from horror and in serious ill health, recover and go on to enjoy many firsts and lives filled with love, sun, friendship, kisses, and joy! We hope you enjoy seeing Marilyn's recovery, many firsts, and so much more. Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!
We are looking forward to 2021 and hope with all our hearts that it will be the year we finally set up our permanent Hen Haven where we can rescue and care for many more sweeties like Marilyn. If you would like to help, please visit chuffed.org/project/henhaven
Marilyn was found in a cage with six other hens, suffering from an extremely swollen abdomen. It would not have taken long for her to die a painful death in that cage. She was rushed to the avian vet where her abdomen was drained of fluid and she was given an implant to stop her laying eggs.
Marilyn quickly recovered and felt better, especially once she stepped into her new home, scratched the earth for the first time, lay in the sun, experienced a dust bath, and purred to her heart's content. Almost two years on and Marilyn continues to live her life to the fullest. She is a happy and loving girl, enjoying kisses from her friends, lots of dust baths filled with musical purrs, and preening her human every chance she gets. We are so lucky to know Marilyn.
NSW Hen Rescue has liberated and rescued thousands of hens and other animals for over 10 years. When we rescue a hen or other animal who has special-care needs, he or she becomes a permanent NSW Hen Rescue family member, safe and protected for life. We love watching rescued animals grow in confidence and trust, develop their new friendships, see who they end up becoming besties with, and just enjoy watching their beautiful energy and gusto for life.

We are so happy we have managed to raise around half of the money needed for our Project Hen Haven. This will be a permanent property where we can provide sanctuary and rehabilitation for many more hens every year. It will also be a showcase of the kind of environment chickens deserve. I am super excited about the education programs we will launch in the community which will help tackle animal cruelty at the roots. We still have a way to go, but I am not giving up. At the start of this fundraiser I thought we may have to shut down the hen rescue, but now I feel confident we will get reach our goal. All donations greatly appreciated and all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
