Gardening with these girls is not always the most productive, but it's certainly the most enjoyable 🐔🐛❤️

If you’ve been thinking about welcoming a few hens into your backyard, our next rehoming days are coming up! 🐔

We’ll be in Boyds & Fallston on September 5 and Huntingtown on September 6, with ex-commercial hens looking for loving backyard homes where they can begin a second chapter. ❤️

Sign up through the link in our bio to reserve your hens.

We’d love to find homes for as many of these sweet girls as possible!

Another wonderful rehoming day! 🐔

We welcomed 348 hens into loving backyard homes across two sites earlier this month. ❤️

A huge thank you to our adopters, volunteers, and everyone who has helped make these happy endings possible.

Our next rehoming days are September 5th & 6th, and we're excited to send many more hens home with their new adopters. ❤️

🐔 Our August rehoming events are now open! 🐔

Since launching this spring, 901 ex-commercial laying hens have already retired into loving homes. We're excited to help even more girls begin their next chapter this August.

📍 Saturday, August 1 • Boyds, MD • Huntingtown, MD

📍 Saturday, August 22 • Boyds, MD • Huntingtown, MD • Fallston, MD

These girls are ready for their first taste of foraging, sunbathing, and simply being chickens.

If you've been thinking about welcoming a few hens to your flock, we'd love to hear from you. Visit our website to learn more and sign up to adopt.

If you know someone who might be interested, we'd be grateful if you'd share this post with them. Each new home helps give more hens the opportunity to enjoy life beyond the commercial farm.

Thank you for being part of this community and helping us give these girls a wonderful retirement. 💛

It's been a busy spring — pictured here getting some work done with my little helper. 🐔💻

We've had a truly meaningful first spring: 901 hens rehomed across our first three events, each one now beginning to settle into a new rhythm of life.

Thank you to everyone who has adopted, supported, volunteered, and followed along so far. You make this work possible.

Our next rehoming is planned for July (date to be confirmed soon). We'll keep you posted!

Our next hen rehoming event is coming up on May 23rd, and we’re currently looking for more adoptive homes for these lovely hens. 🐔

Each hen adopted is another hen we can collect from the commercial farm.

We’ll have collection points available in both Boyds, MD (Montgomery Co.) and Huntingtown, MD (Calvert Co.) on Saturday.

We know it’s Memorial Day weekend, so for those collecting from our Montgomery County site, there may be a little flexibility with collection timing that week.

These hens are endlessly charming, full of personality, and most deserving of a sweet retirement. ❤️✨

We just received a beautifully packaged chicken first aid kit generously donated by to keep on hand for our rescue hens. It's thoughtfully stocked with supplies to help treat minor injuries, wounds, and common poultry issues.

And as an added bonus, the package was covered in what may be the cutest chicken stickers we’ve ever seen. Truly a delight from start to finish. ✨

Many thanks to Misty at 💕

We’re so excited to share that our third rehoming day is coming up on May 23rd! If you have room in your flock for a few deserving girls, we’d love to hear from you — and please help us spread the word. We’ll collect and rehome as many hens as we can find loving homes for. ❤️

Thanks to this incredible community, 560 ex-commercial hens have already been rehomed through our first two events, and we’re so grateful for every adopter, volunteer, and supporter who has made that possible.

These girls are 18-month-old ISA Browns: sweet, curious, full of personality, and — for the most part — still laying beautifully.

Warning: they will march their way right into your heart 🐔❤️

We have 25 hens left of the 336 we collected on Friday. We're hoping to rehome them all this week, please reach out and send through your adoption form if you're interested!

UPDATE:

All hens are now reserved! And our next rehoming date was just confirmed for May 23rd!

04/16/2026

We’re excited to share that our next hen rehoming is officially confirmed for May 2 in Boyds, MD. 💛

Applications are now open to adopt ex-commercial laying hens, offering them a second chapter as backyard pets.

The number of hens we can bring out of the commercial farm is directly shaped by the number of confirmed applications we receive. So if you’re considering adopting (or know someone who might be), please apply — and please share this post to help us reach more homes.

Thank you for helping these girls enjoy a fresh start. 🐔💛
