🚨Help urgently needed!🚨 On Monday, we brought home 49 chickens (10 roosters and 39 hens) from Montgomery County Animal Services . We are a registered rescue partner with them. The chickens had been with over 100 other animals in a disturbing hoarding situation in a townhouse (that’s all they could tell us). Most of them are in decent shape, but several have classically poor condition from being kept in cramped indoor quarters. It’s going to take A LOT of work to get them healthy again.

This is the largest group of rescue birds we have ever taken in at once. It is immediately requiring more feed, housing, and veterinary care than we were positioned to maintain, but with your help we can do it! In this season of giving, will you make a sponsorship donation today, or spread the word to others?

Visit the link in our profile to sponsor a chicken, or make a general donation via Venmo or PayPal lemonhousefarm[at]gmail[dot]com. Thank you! 💛

For my birthday today, I would be honored by the gift of rescue chicken sponsorship at my farm, Lemon House Farm. If you didn't know, my family and I operate a small, sustainable farm in addition to working full-time jobs and raising a family. Most would consider that crazy enough, but it's also a kooky little farm. Part of what we are is a chicken sanctuary! We have over 60 chickens who have been rehomed or rescued from abusive or neglectful situations.

If you know me, you know I don't think that's actually kooky. I think it's important work caring for animals that most people don't give a second thought as being of "value." In order to give these chickens the care they deserve, we run the "Sponsor a Senior" program, accepting sponsorships to help pay for things like veterinary costs. I could put on my agricultural economist hat to talk all about how this is an effort to counter negative externalities caused by market failures of a capitalist system, but today I'm just gonna wear a birthday hat.

You can send a sponsorship directly to me at on Venmo or [email protected] on Paypal (that way I don't have to pay the biz fees on those platforms). Thank you for supporting a 38-year-old crazy chicken lady!

It has been a particularly tough couple of weeks on the farm, with many losses for many reasons. We typically have 50-60 rescue and retired chickens in our sanctuary, but between cancer, oviduct disorders, respiratory infections, GI disorders, and - just this morning - a fox, we find ourselves down to just 34.

Among those who have “flown away home” are some family favorites: Gilly, Hei Hei, Apple, Smokey, Consuelo, Stella, and Sweater. While this is the hardest and saddest part, we know they had the best chicken life and that they leave space to help more birds.

Vet bills have also had a big impact on us through this time. If you would like to contribute to the cause of rescue and elder chicken care, visit the link in our profile to sponsor a chicken, or make a general donation via Venmo or PayPal lemonhousefarm[at]gmail[dot]com. Thank you. 💔💛

It’s been a minute since we shared an egg glamor shot, but we were feelin’ it today. ☀️

Me: Dr. Schwartz, is it okay if I take a picture of you with the girls?

Dr. S.: Sure! How about a silly one? [puts on two stethoscopes and pretends to listen to both hearts at once]

I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude to this veterinarian and the entire staff at Wheaton Animal Hospital in Wheaton, MD. He has been our avian vet for over 10 years, and is the perfect combination of compassionate, pragmatic, curious, and thorough. It’s tricky to find a livestock vet in the DC Metro area, and harder to find an exotics vet who does house calls and is willing to treat individual birds within a whole-flock framework. 💛

Our first sponsor-named rescue hen, Purdy! Named by as a gift from a family member who is a friend of Lemon House Farm. Katie received a year-long sponsorship and naming privileges for Purdy as a Christmas present. We love the name she chose for this pretty girl! Do you know someone who would love that kind of meaningful gift with real-world impact? Check out lemonhousefarm.com/sponsorasenior to learn more!

Beautiful shot of our Toulouse geese by a talented neighbor. Their job is to protect the flocks from aerial predators. 🦉🦅

Lucy is in the (inverse) Cone of Shame while her stitches heal after a narrow escape from a fox. And she’s here to tell you how she feels about it! This holiday season, you can give the gift of a long, healthy life to rescued and retired chickens like Lucy with a Lemon House Farm sponsorship. Visit lemonhousefarm.com/sponsorasenior
