Read Gertrude's Story (In Memoriam)
Gertrude was our most cuddled chicken, when all of the other hens were busy running around looking for bugs or scratching in the hay, Gertie preferred to be snuggled up in someone’s arms where she could overlook the barnyard from above. After living her entire life in a backyard, only being valued for her ability to lay eggs, Gertie lived a lovely retirement with us where she was valued for her personality and ability to love. Although we mourn the loss of our loved one, we are grateful to have known and loved Gertrude and to have watched her change the lives of everyone she met.
