Peggy Sue recently got a new wheelchair made and donated to her by Happier Pets. It’s made specially for smaller chickens, so her and Chickadee Dee Dee currently share it. Thank you Belinda at Happier Pets for everything you do for the animals here at LP. ❤️🙏❤️

Trip is the cutest little guy. Always looking for a pat and a treat. Trip came via Lamb Care Australia as an orphan and has settled in here ready for the rest of his life. ❤️

A little collage of my sitting down times here at the sanctuary. I’m always joined by someone. To think all of these girls were kept in sheds, kept away from sight and kept as disposable egg machines is just the saddest thing. I’m really tired at the moment and struggling to get through my days and the chickens can feel it and like to offer me a bit of company wherever I go. I always find it so hilarious when people tell me chickens have no personality and are all the same. It’s those people whose contact with chickens has only been on their plate.

This morning I was half an hour late to let everybody out and this is the absolutely unimpressed look I got from Spartacus.

All Death Metal All The Time is a fierce, serious lady. She's currently been broody for what seems like 7,000 years and every day I tell her she'd actually be a terrible mother and hate her child, but she just swears at me in response.

All Death Metal All The Time was surrendered to The Lost Dog's Home in April this year with 4 other hens. They all then came here to live out their lives. 3 of those hens have since passed away due to long standing issues and illnesses they all arrived with. It's true that I am not great at rehoming chickens. I do rehome some, but most chickens who come here have had such a horrible past and they arrive in such bad condition that I believe they deserve to no longer be shunted around from home to home and I believe they deserve the best of care and the only person I really trust to offer that is myself....and so they live their lives out here in chicken paradise knowing they are safe and knowing this is their home for life.

This is Berlin Chair. She was rescued from a barn laid egg farm in late September. From a terrified shell of herself to this confident, cheeky lady who is obsessed with jumping in people’s laps when they are sitting down. Every day she’ll find me just to sit in my lap. Hilarious little girl. ❤️

Chickadee Dee is so lucky to have a protector like Mrs Mangle. They both had their acupuncture today and Mrs Mangle did her usual stomping around the room trying to fight other chickens in cages once her session was over. Mrs Mangle very sadly has some reproductive tumours growing. This hen is such a warhorse, the things she’s been through and the fights she’s battled and won, I love her so.

Today’s LP News - Tiny Rooster Edition

The roosters that have the most attitude here are the tiny ones. I see a 500 gram rooster chasing a 4 kg rooster out of the corner of my eye most days. The most hysterical drama comes from the roosters under 1 kg. Here’s the worst offenders -

Photo One - Sir Didymus. Yells at cats. Screams at leaves. Chronic hen stealer.

Photo Two - T-Pot. Fights everyone regardless of size. Takes secret karate lessons.

Photo Three - Cowboy X. Has a thumping heart murmur but still believes he is King and rewrites his attack plan for injuring T-Pot nightly.

Photo Four - The Emperor’s New Groove. Attacks everyone. Refuses to hand in his machetes. Terrorises all other roosters daily.

Our Story

Lefty’s Place is a small, registered not for profit animal refuge in the Macedon Ranges, Victoria, run by photographer, Tamara Kenneally. Named after her beloved sheep named Lefty who passed away in January 2013, it is home to rescued sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, peahens, dogs and cats from a variety of backgrounds. The main goal of Lefty’s Place is to document each animal’s life from their time in farms/abattoirs etc through to their new lives at Lefty’s Place. Tamara is committed to portraying these animals as the individuals they are and providing viewers with each animal’s true self and story so they can be aware that farm animals are so much more than just a food source.
