Meet the Chickens
Get to know our 10 resident rescue chickens!
Our mission is to provide a loving forever home to abandoned, abused, and neglected farmed animals. We currently have rescued 9 chickens which include 6 hens and 4 roosters. We hope you'll enjoy meeting them below!
 Henry is an ~8 year old semi-blind rooster who joins us from Big Sky Ranch (as they close and re-home their animals) in May 2023. He is the tiniest but mightiest rooster with lots to say! Henry will be hanging out in his isolation coop for the next couple weeks, and then will be upgraded to a brand new coop where he’ll be slowly integrated with our other blind rooster, Ellie! ❤️ |  Ellie was surrendered to us at 16 weeks old after his breeders could no longer care for him. As a blind rooster who walks funny he was picked on and ostracized by his siblings. He has his very own loft in one of the coops where he can live safely without worrying about bullies. He is the most affectionate of the chickens and enjoys human touch and company. He purrs (a trilling kind of chicken coo) when cuddled and loves being whispered to. |  Alma and her two sisters were surrendered to Secondhand Stories in November 2022. At 5 months old they were living in a tiny coop, covered in lice, and are still learning what dust baths and perching are. These girls are slower to trust humans, and have gotten their names from the bravest most rebellious Handmaids' Tale characters. Alma is the sole surviving sister of the henmaids. Both of her sisters sadly passed away from reproductive issues. |

 Rolo was adopted from the Montreal SPCA at five months old. He is an "easter egger" rooster. His former owners surrendered him, and his brother, because they weren't egg laying hens. Over the months Rolo and Hershey have bonded and now live their lives in a Bachelor Flock - just the two of them! (Plus Ellie, who lives solo in a loft above them!) Rolo does a happy dance every morning when he gets to go out into the run to stretch his legs after an evening sleep on the perch. |  Hershey was adopted from the Montreal SPCA at five months old. He is an "easter egger" rooster. His former owners surrendered him, and his brother, because they weren't egg laying hens. Over the months Rolo and Hershey have bonded and now live their lives in a Bachelor Flock - just the two of them! (Plus Ellie, who lives solo in a loft above them!). He is in love with Rolo and would like very much do waddle off into the sunset with him. |  Maggie is a fierce and outgoing lady who was left behind by the previous owners of Pegg Road. She has a spunky attitude and knows she's the queen chicky - but that recently got her into hot water when the roosters tried to get frisky with her. She is temporarily living with Betsie indoors as her feathers re-grow and she gets back to her sassy self. |
 Lovingly nicknamed Regina George for her bossy attitude, Georgie was one of the 7 hens left behind by the former owners of Pegg Road. She's not a bully though, she protects her friends and makes sure the two roosters don't pick on anyone. She's the "momma hen" of the group. She shares a coop with her siblings and will soon be introduced to The Henmaids! |  Cora is a sweet lady. She is one of the egg-laying hens left behind by the former owners of Pegg Road. She doesn't get into trouble and will happily wait for her friends to finish their food before stepping in to have a snack. She enjoys foraging and taking long strolls around the run. She shares a coop with her siblings and will soon be introduced to The Henmaids! |  Margaret is one of the 7 OG hens we saved when we moved to Pegg Road. When we rescued her, her butt was bald from the others plucking her, but more space she's regrown them! She shares a coop with her siblings and will soon be introduced to The Henmaids! |
 You can recognize Sophie as Georgie's twin, just with a few feathers missing from the top of her head. She's a big lady who knows what she wants, and goes to get it. First to the food, she LOVES blueberries and any fruit. She also loves to inspect anything you might have in your hands. She shares a coop with her siblings and will soon be introduced to The Henmaids! |
