It’s very important to me that my chickens have the best lives possible because they are indeed smart and unique created! It makes me incredibly sad witnessing chickens living in unacceptable conditions especially when I see how smart, curious, funny, lovable and social creatures they are!

They were not created to live their lives in small cages, crammed together at factory farms, or to be kept in the corner of a yard without interaction with their humans..

Chickens need space to forage, a place to lay their eggs in peace without stress, clean living environments, dry food and fresh water and love.

Love your chickens and they’ll love you back, provide you with healthy beautiful eggs, and bring you joy.
