The hen crew is made up of a beautiful array of both common and rare heritage breeds, popular in backyard chicken-keeping, as well as a few ladies who came from commercial backgrounds.

Many of these ladies were surrendered and/or abandoned as they were considered “spent” when their egg-laying slowed, and were slated for slaughter. Now safe here at Where Pigs Fly, on any given day you will find them hard at work eating bugs and taking dust baths. Seeing their diversity, in both colours and personalities, makes the chicken yard a relaxing and enjoyable place.

Each member of the chicken crew has a name, a personality, friends, likes, and dislikes. We makes sure they have plenty of space to run and play. They get plenty of organic food with dietary supplements and treats to keep them healthy and ensure they feel loved.
