LittleHill Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is asking people to consider adopting a hen.
The organisation says there will be a €6 fee per hen, as free birds are often used to bait dogs.
If you'd like to adopt a new pet, the group is in Portlaoise today.
Committee member Susan Anderson says there are a number of things to get right before bringing one home:
