About us
How we started
My name is Aaron i have always had love for animals and have always wanted my own petting farm we first started by having 6 pekin bantams of a family member which jodie my parther brought home from west sussex, which then esculated to rescuing ex commercial hens.
A friend of ours ran a little rescue centre in Yorkshire and needed our help, thats where Rooster Farm and Sanctuary began helping with over 200 birds including geese,ducks,turkeys,
rabbits.
What we do
We rescue and rehome all poultry, small animals and wildlife. We ensure all animals go to there forever loving homes. We believe every animal deserves to live there life. In most cases ex commercial hens are slaughtered at the age of 72 weeks old as this is when there egg production slows down due to being in artificial light so they can produce more eggs for retail purposes,where they are kept in cramped conditions. Most farmers call these "spent hens" they are sent to slaughter for dog food,meat in pies etc. We have rescued and rehomed over 1000 ex commercial hens,not forgetting those noisy cockerels where the neighbour's complain about there morning song. Where we can help we will.
Meet the team
We are a family run sanctuary run by Aaron,Jodie,family members and foster familys. If we are full at the sanctuary the animals will go to our foster familys Terry Jordon,Mark Jordon and Lindsay and Dillon Joiner where they will stay until they go to there forever homes. All animals rely on us whether it be food,bedding medications,as we are a non profit organisation we rely on the public to help with dontations,rehoming fees and even rehoming any animal.
