Momma

Momma is no ordinary chicken—she’s a survivor, a fighter, and an absolute legend at Flying Pigs Sanctuary. Rescued from a Tractor Supply in 2020 alongside 11 other struggling chicks, she was one of the weakest, barely hanging on. But with love and care, Momma and her friends pulled through.

Her name came later, when she got broody and refused to leave the coop, so determined to hatch eggs that she put her own health at risk. With the help of our vet, we nursed her back to full strength, and she quickly became Amy’s favorite hen (earning her own song to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody).

Sadly, tragedy struck in the summer of 2023 when we lost most of our free-range hens to predators. Now, only Momma and her best friend Nubbin remain, living safely in an enormous, well-protected chicken run to ensure their safety.

Sponsoring Momma helps provide her with the care, protection, and love she deserves as she continues to rule the coop, sing her song, and prove that she truly has nine lives! Be part of her journey and help keep this incredible hen safe and happy!
