Chicken Sancuary

[zrossk]

i think when i am older a chicken sanctuary would be pretty cool to open. any ideas?

I've seen posts and blogs about chicken rescue sanctuaries that take in spent battery hens and let them free range for the rest of their lives. Sounds like a wonderful idea if you can pull it off. Good luck!

There's one in my part of the state. (California) It's actually a sanctuary for farmed animals.

They do adopt out, so it's not necessarily a chickens "forever home" but it CAN be, if nobody adopts the ones there. This also means they can't take every chicken that needs sanctuary, but they're still doing a wonderful thing.

I have also seen a lot of sanctaries that are really crowded.

I would suspect crowding is easy to do. There is always one more needy chicken in your world.

I, too, like the idea, but would have to be a lot richer rather than older to try something like it.
