Good bye to one our favorite farm chickens, a 9 or 10 year old black australorp named Oreo, who we rescued a few years ago. Oreo was friendly and didn't mind being held. We will never forget how she gave one refugee her first ever experience seeing a chicken. Oreo patiently sat on her lap as she got stroked over and over, helping her new friend feel calm and loved. Oreo died of natural causes after a long life, and we are grateful for her gentle interactions with all the humans she touched. Rest in peace, Oreo!
