Sweet, sweet Lourdes, goodbye 💔
This place won’t be the same without you.
She was the queen of the flock, calm, generous, and loved by everyone.
All the kids from learned from Lourdes what a chicken really is: a sensitive, curious being who loves company and feels safe close to those she trusts.
Lourdes was the first chicken rescued here. She lived free. She raised her son Jo with care, and she shared her days with a kind and loyal companion, Rusty.
We hope she is with Jo now, who left far too soon.
Today is a sad day. Tomorrow she won’t be here, roaming around the sanctuary with her quiet sweetness, approaching gently as she always did.
But there is also gratitude. Lourdes lived the life she deserved, with freedom, respect, and love.
Thank you, Lourdes. You will stay with us, always. 🖤🐔
