In the circumstance that you can no longer keep your family hens, or have perhaps accidentally acquired a rooster, Good Roots Farm can be their new home.

Chickens are energetic, inquisitive, & friendly animals who are a joy to watch, but the decision to keep them shouldn't be made lightly. Chickens require dedicated, consistent care and there are important issues to consider before acquiring a backyard flock. Backyard hens can be wonderful companions. Interest in keeping them has grown as part of the local, sustainable, and organic food movements.

The shelter supports measures that reduce animal suffering, & every family that gets their eggs from backyard hens is likely reducing or eliminating their purchase of eggs laid by hens who were confined to crowded cages on factory farms.

Sometimes, however, circumstances such as a move, or acquiring a rooster by accident, means having to find a new home for your birds. Good Roots Farm and Gardens will be a willing shelter for these animals.
