Sunset feeding with Ellen 🥰🥰 Sweet Ellen has been living in the house the past few weeks after having some issues with her roomies. We are not sure what provoked the others, but they were all being mean to the sweetest chicken ever, Ellen. It was brutally cold and we were afraid that maybe Ellen was sick, and that the others knew something we didn’t (as chickens often do), but we are happy to say she is just fine! She moved in with us, had a bath and received the preventative medical care she needed just in case. With the warm weather this week she’s been able to hang out while we start our spring cleanup and visit with everyone outside again 🙏

Happy Hatch-day to sweet Ellen girl who just turned 1 on May 5th! 🐣
Yesterday was such a crazy day with hay and feed pick up and deliveries, and our usual feeding and chores that we didn’t get to put together the special celebration that she deserves. This afternoon Ellen had a sweet little party with her friends and her fave snacks.
So glad you’re here with us Ellen 🥳 Thank you for being such a brave ambassador for chickies everywhere.
Happy Birthday! ♥️ #animalrescue #farmsanctuary #bekindtoallkinds #friendsnotfood #ellenatssar
The snow is melting and the chickies are venturing out with us a little farther than their covered porch these days! Ellen is getting back into her fitness routine but we’re still at the walk/jog stage. Hopefully soon we will have soft grass and momentum for some good runs together!
Thanks for the inspiration @temarabrown !

The inseparable Ellen & Mariah 😆💗 The former lab girls are doing really well. Exploring all over the place and getting lots of exercise! They still sleep separately from the others as they haven’t been fully accepted into the house. Hopefully we can all get along and take the divider down soon.

Ellen & Mariah enjoyed their first dirt bath here! Keep them off your plate 🙏

Meet Ellen! Ellen and her sister Mariah were part of a group of almost 40 chicks hatched to be experimented on at a university. The experiment was six weeks, and they got a second chance to live a good life thanks to one of the researchers. All birds were placed in excellent homes!
We are so grateful to the Browns’ Microsanctuary who fostered and cared for these girls for us until they were ready to travel. Five of them arrived last Wednesday with Critter Cabs. Mariah and Ellen will stay with us, and the other three continued on to Contented Clucks Microsanctuary.
These sweet girls are Cornish Crosses, also often referred to as ‘broilers’ (raised for flesh). They want to eat all the time and are bred to get really big at a young age. During the experiment, they were given the same diet they'd have in a factory farm. When released they were already having health issues from their large size. They've all improved so much on their new healthy diet and outdoor time!
