"There is no direct link on their website as this is happening so fast. The best thing to do is to email them directly at info@animalplace.org .
Here was the message I was sent:

Dear Kathi

Animal Place is helping to rescue 1,500 "spent" hens from a small egg-laying factory farm. They are scheduled to be slaughtered next week. These birds have spent their entire lives in cages and are killed at the young age of two.

How you can help:

Adopt! Animal Place can only house 300 birds at our facility. We want to save more. If you have space for companion birds now or in the near future, contact us immediately. If you know people who might wish to adopt chickens as companions, forward this alert to them.

All prospective adopters will be asked to fill out an application as we want to ensure these abused birds go to safe and permanent homes.

Send us an email or call us at 707-449-4814 with the following information:
Name:
Phone Number:
Full Address:
Number of hens you can adopt:
When you can adopt birds:

Donate to our rescue fund. Taking in hundreds of animals is both time consuming and costly but it is one of the key reasons Animal Place exists. By donating to our rescue fund, you provide a gift of veterinary care, food, transport of animals and housing.

Every year, 250-300 million hens are slaughtered at 2 years of age because their egg production no longer matches the bottom line of money and greed. Currently, 95% of all birds raised for their eggs are housed in cages so small they cannot turn around. Even when not housed in cages, cage-free birds are still debeaked and slaughtered long before their natural lifespan. You can do your part by not purchasing eggs and seeking alternatives for your baking needs by using flaxseed, applesauce, or Ener-G egg replacer. Boundless substitutes are readily available. "
