Sophie Mccoy's life changed for the better when she became the mum of three beautiful ex-battery hens and realised that far from being 'bird brained', chickens are intelligent, cheeky, loving animals who deserve a full free range life. Since then, she has fundraised for the British Hen Welfare Trust and is a volunteer rehoming coordinator for the charity, rehoming approximately 2000 battery hens per year who would otherwise be sent to slaughter. Tales from the Coop is Sophie's first book.
