Home, Sweet Hens – All 21 are Now Here!
Wednesday, October 12, we adopted into our sanctuary twenty-one lovely brown hens from the Department of Public Works/ Mosquito Control in Virginia Beach, VA. Biologist Kaitlyn Price and two interns delivered the hens in a huge pick-up after months preparing for this happy occasion. Right now the hens are living together in their own place, but they will soon be liberated into the large open, predator-proof yard occupied by Rowdy the rooster and his ladies.
“I’m very happy that they are settling into their new home. I love that their personalities are starting to shine through, and I’m sure even more will come out once they have access to the big yard.” - Kaitlyn Price
We’re delighted to welcome these beautiful, friendly brown hens! – Karen Davis, UPC
