King Adopts One Millionth British Rescue Chicken and Names Her Henrietta

King Charles has adopted the British Hen Welfare Trust’s one millionth hen – and named the latest addition to the royal household, Henrietta. The hen was rehomed at Highgrove Gardens, along with 30 other rescue chickens. Henrietta journeyed to her new residence in a hand-crafted carrier created by award-winning British fashion designer Lulu Guinness, British Hen Welfare Trust (BHWT) revealed. Founder and CEO of the charity Jane Howorth said: “We’re thrilled that one million hens have been adopted and extremely pleased that Henrietta and her 30 feathered friends are heading to Highgrove Gardens.“ The King’s support for farming and his passion for conservation is well documented, but with the addition of Henrietta and her 30 feathered friends, the King’s Gloucestershire residence just got a little more egg-ceptional.
