Charity helps thousands of caged hens find new homes

Key points

• Julie O'Shea founded the charity Who Gives a Cluck in 2017 and has saved nearly 13,000 laying hens from being culled. This year, she and her volunteers plan to rescue about 1,700 hens from a commercial caged egg farm.
• The hens are checked for health, and those that fail go to the charity's hen hospital or a local sanctuary.
• Rescued hens are adopted at events held across the region, including at Mullumbimby in northern New South Wales.
