Secondhand Stories is a registered non-profit chicken sanctuary located 10 minutes from Perth, Ontario* (one-hour southwest of Ottawa and one hour north of Kingston).
Our mission is to inspire compassion for chickens through rescue, advocacy and education.

We offer a life-long sanctuary where 22 rescued chickens can live their natural lives in peace, be free from exploitation and suffering and have fulfilling & enriching experiences. Learn about the chickens here!
As knowledgeable and compassionate caretakers, we advocate for the welfare of chickens, serving as a trusted voice in the community.

We nurture a compassionate lifestyle by offering educational tours that share stories of the residents, highlighting their individual personalities.
