retirement, the old birds move into the “Leisure Coop,” and get heckin’ good care for the remainder of their natural lives. | Most of our retirement birds range in age from 3-6 years | https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60215163acd28b221d5d8378/1616206829600-E7WT9G1EY0NCXAVIRZOK/3192CB66-8D90-47EA-86EE-7D32F1B61F57.jpg our story - Each chicken has a name and a story — like Parsnip, a Wheaten Marans who earned “Matriarch” status as our most aged hen. | Parsnip turned ten years old in 2024 |
