Devorah
Devorah is the sweetest bird you will ever meet. She was rescued from slaughter during Kaporos 2018. Together with her sister Daisy, they arrived at Life with Pigs as tiny little babies. Devorah lost Daisy early on due to a heart condition. For a while, Devorah lived with two other Cornish Cross hens, but never really formed a bond with them. When Indy and Wish came to live at Life with Pigs, Devorah finally found her flock. She acted like the Aunt, teaching the two young birds what good snacks are and comforting them both. Devorah had mobility issues, and had a hard time standing and could not walk. She didn't let it get her down, and still spent time with Indy and Wish, loved to sun herself or dig in soft dirt. Her favorite treats are strawberries and watermelon. She is a great ambassador and enjoyed going with us to events to make people fall in love with chickens as much as we have!
Ramona was a Tractor Supply chick that was born with a non-functioning leg and another leg that only semi-functions. So, she could not be sold and was going to be euthanized. But, thanks to our friend Christine, this would not be her fate. Ramona was rescued and raised by Christine until we could bring her home to live with us at Life with Pigs Farm Animal Sanctuary.
Because of her leg issues, Ramona always had issues with walking and getting around. Fortunately, her big sisters- the pigs - seemed to do a good job of not stepping on her.

Beatrice is our feathered pig. She may have looked like a Rhode Island Red hen, but she spent all her time with her three pig sisters Millie, Charlotte, and Pumpkin and wanted nothing to do with our other chickens. That is, until she met Elvis the rooster and fell in love! But she still made time for her sisters when she saw them out in the yard every day.
Beatrice was rescued from a small-scale egg farm where she likely would have spent two years producing eggs nearly daily resulting in an early death or painful life. Instead, Beatrice was implanted to prevent egg laying so that she could live a long and happy life relaxing comfortably on top of her pigs as they sleep on the couch, or snuggling with Elvis.
