Valya & Galya is no longer looking for a new home

Layer hens are often seen as a commodity – their worth measured by their egg production. Hens are often overlooked for their intelligence and ability to be social animals. When given a chance, hens can show us how wonderful they can be as companions.

Thankfully, Valya and Galya are two lucky souls who haven’t been overlooked. They have been loved as valued as living beings- their worth not measured by their egg-laying ability.  

Valya and Galya are more than just hens—they’re a duo with spirit, curiosity, and a soft spot for human company.

Originally adopted by a family who simply wanted to give two hens a good life, they have been cherished every day since. But through circumstances beyond anyone’s control, they now need a new place to call home. What they’re hoping for is a family that’s as gentle and caring as the one they’re leaving. 

These two love to roam, especially if they get to follow you around the yard, scratching the earth and chatting in their own charming way. They’re known for waiting at the back door, hoping to be part of the day’s action (or score a treat!). Practically hand-fed, they adore pats and linger close for any attention they can get, making sure you feel just as loved as they do. With Valya and Galya around, every moment feels just a bit brighter. 

But there’s more to these two than their friendly charm. They’re excellent garden helpers, tackling pests with enthusiasm and happily munching on yesterday’s scraps, reducing food waste as they go. If you already have a flock, they’ll fit right in, and if not, they’re ready to be your devoted backyard companions, adding their own brand of cheerfulness to each day. 

While they still lay eggs, Valya and Galya are looking for something deeper—a forever home where they can be treasured as beloved companions, spending their days basking in the sun and bringing joy to their family regardless of whether they are laying eggs or not. Valya and Galya need only a secure coop with nesting boxes, a few perches, and the freedom to roam safely. They’re low-maintenance but big-hearted, making them perfect for anyone ready to offer a safe, happy home. 

If you’re ready to welcome these two affectionate hens into your life, click the ‘Apply to adopt’ button below and start a new journey with Valya and Galya. Giving them a forever home means giving them a life they truly deserve. 

These two cuties have found their new forever home with the help of their owner. Please take a look at the other animals we have in need of loving homes or keep an eye out for our next hen rescue day.
