Gloria is one of our very first residents, as well as one of our oldest. She was brought to us as a young hen in 2011 as a cast off "mix breed" hen. She is always so loving and interactive, fresh cilantro is one of her favorite treats. Inquisitive, she has always been one of the favorites at the Sanctuary. Gloria is elderly now, but certainly still spry! She jumps up on ledges and branches with all the other young hens and roosters, at over 6 years old -- she is truly an amazing hen!

Febuary 23rd 2018

Gloria was one of our oldest residents (of the bird family), we have had her for more than six years and estimate that she was at least 7 1/2 years old (possibly older). She had been doing very well right up until her passing. We found her in the early afternoon of the 23rd. Gloria came to us from a woman/farm who was reducing her flock. We took in both Gloria, Gideon and our two oldest geese Gus and Lucy from her. They have been with us every since. Gloria loved being with the flock, and so we decided not to separate her, even as she advanced in age. We believe she was happy right up to the end. But she will be very much missed by all of us and the flock who loved her.
