Details

The Laying Hen Housing for Health and Welfare grant is available for housing for laying hens and pullets. You can apply to replace or upgrade existing laying hen or pullet housing (a ‘comprehensive’ project) or add a veranda onto existing laying hen or pullet housing (a ‘veranda-only’ project) to provide animal health and welfare benefits.

You’ll soon be able to use our online checker to make an initial online application. We expect the checker to open at the end of June 2024.

You must read the guidance about the grant on this page before you apply.

If you meet all of the eligibility criteria, RPA may invite you to make a full application. The success of your application will depend on the score your project achieves (comprehensive projects only) and the number and value of applications we receive (comprehensive and veranda-only projects).
