Read Sarah's Story (In Memoriam)
Sarah was wild in our neighborhood, we were never able to find out where she came from. She emerged one day with 15 babies and we knew that if she remained where she was, her and her babies would be eaten by predators. So we scooped them all up and brought them to live in our barnyard. Sarah and her children lived a long, happy, healthy life with us and we loved them each and every day. Chickens live till about 7-10 years, we didn't know how old Sarah was when we found her, but she was with us for 8 years, so she must have been old. Sarah passed away in her sleep even though the day before she was just fine. It is a shock for us when they go without warning, but so much lovelier for them to go quickly and easily, without pain or suffering. She was a wonderful, strong, nurturing mom who will live on in the life of her babies.
