New drains urgently required

Here at Northern Ireland Battery Hen Rescue we urgently need to install drainage and reseed grazing areas. At the moment, due to lack of drainage in the free ranging areas, we are running a huge risk of disease from bacteria which thrives in areas where the water isn’t draining away. During periods of heavy rain our free ranging areas become totally flooded and turn to mud to such an extent we can’t cross these areas without sinking. The problem has become extremely serious after the levels of rainfall we had last year and compounded by the heavy snowfall (drifts up to 4ft in places) which is now melting. If we can’t complete these works we will be unable to take any more animals in as the ground has become a breeding ground for bacteria
