Our Chicken Flock of “Retired” Hens

Meet our chicken flock of “retired” hens who get to live out the rest of their lives at our sanctuary. Our lovely flock of retired hens get to spend their days freely foraging in their spacious living environments, taking dust baths, & socializing with their hen friends.

Finnegan

Finnegan was rehomed to our sanctuary along with two hens (Clementine & Emmeline) when his previous owner could no longer keep them. At the time, we happened to have space to gladly give this little feathered family a life-long home together. Finnegan grew up with his two hen friends & he is very bonded to them & happily follows them around all day. He is a chatty, charming, & curious little duck, who like all ducks, loves his water & making water messes! Sadly, backyard ducks, just like backyard chickens often end up either in a ‘rehoming ad’ or the ‘cooking pot’ but fortunately, he will be protected & cared for all of his life here at our sanctuary.

Elvis & Priscilla

Our peafowl couple – the peacock, Elvis and peahen, Priscilla actually came with the property as the previous owners asked the founder of the farm sanctuary if they could remain on the farm as it would have been very difficult to safely relocate them to a new home. Although strikingly beautiful, peacocks (male peafowl) are also territorial & make a lot of noise, especially during mating season. Due to their uncertain fate if rehomed elsewhere, they were welcomed into the sanctuary. They continue to be able to roam the property & also have a specially made ‘peacock house’ that the previous owners made for them but most of the time they perch on the top of the house at night. They have also become the guardians of the property & will vocally let us know if something is wrong. Although they can be more aloof when visitors come (especially small children), they do sometimes make a mesmerizing appearance with their vibrant coloured feathers and plumage. 

Miriam & Mo

Miriam & Mo are a talkative duo of Indian Runner ducklings who love to explore, splash in water, & run! They were surrendered to us after being a “classroom hatching project” & the teacher wanted them to go to a permanent home rather than end up as many chicks/ducklings do after they are finished being used as a class project. Today, there are alternative more compassionate educational activities for kids to learn about animals, including virtual to real-life sanctuary tours. Miriam & Mo would love to have you meet them & learn more about their lives at our sanctuary.
