Documenting a Milestone for the British Hen Welfare Trust
Marking a historic milestone.
I recently had the privilege of documenting an extraordinary moment for the British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT): the rehoming of their one-millionth hen. The BHWT has long been dedicated to giving hens a second chance at life, rehoming those retired from commercial egg production into loving pet homes.

The milestone was made even more special by the fact that the one-millionth hen found its new home at the Highgrove Estate, rehomed by King Charles himself. It was an incredible opportunity to capture this unique moment in the BHWT’s history, as well as the care and dedication that makes their work possible.

I was thrilled to see the video I created for the BHWT’s social media platforms become their most successful post ever, reaching over 850,000 views. It was wonderful to know that the story resonated with so many people, helping to highlight the importance of rehoming and the life-changing work the BHWT does.
