🌈🐓Every life we bring into our sanctuary is important. Every life. Big or little. Old or young. Furry or feathered. Sweet or “quirky.”
Recently we lost our dear beautiful little girl, Jewel. Every time we lose someone…it hits me hard.💔
We rescued Jewel (with 5 of her pals) from a neglect situation. A Good Samaritan found out these girls were being neglected just because they were older and had stopped producing eggs. Like that’s the only reason to take care of chickens? For their eggs?😢Eggs aren’t even good for us.
I feel particularly tender toward egg hens because so few ever know love or safety. Literally BILLIONS of egg hens (and baby roosters) are abused and then slaughtered every year.
It breaks my heart. I wish people would stop supporting the egg industry.
We were honored to give Jewel a safe and happy home the last year of her life. She left us peacefully surrounded by her flock.
Fly free now little girl. You were loved and you will never be forgotten. You mattered and we will always miss you.💔🌈😢
