meet the chickens
Each of the chickens who call Woodstock Farm Sanctuary home has their own story of survival, resilience, and individuality.
Meet some of them below! Sponsor a rescued chicken resident here!
The Star Flock
In spring of 2026, we learned of a flock of 11 hens in urgent need of help. These sweet chickens had been living in a private home, but when their caretaker became unable to care for them any longer, they were at risk
Peppermint
Peppermint was rescued from a live-kill market on Long Island in November of 2022, along with Drew the turkey, who was destined to be slaughtered for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The Highlanders
In July 2020, we rescued 13 chickens, who we would come to call The Highlanders, from severe neglect.
The Iowa Survivors
In May of 2020, we learned that a large egg facility in Iowa was going to kill nearly all 140,000 of their hens.
The Hudson Valley 100
In August of 2019, we teamed up with Barn Sanctuary to rescue nearly 100 chickens from a nearby farm that was closing.
