Summer’s next chapter is beginning.
After recently arriving at Full Circle Farm Sanctuary, Summer spent time recovering in the barn while receiving treatment and close monitoring for a severe case of coccidia, a potentially life-threatening parasitic infection.
During her time in the barn, Summer quickly showed off her adventurous side. She explored every corner she could find and somehow always managed to make her way to the highest possible spots in the barn. Check the end of the video to see just how high!!
Last week, Summer officially began transitioning into Chicken Village, where she is settling in with her new flockmates Elsa, Sniffles, and Violet.
Elsa, like Summer, was also rescued from an Atlanta neighborhood, making them both city girls who eventually found their way to sanctuary life.
When Elsa and Summer first met, Elsa quickly decided to chase the new girl around the aviary … but Summer proved to be much faster. Safe to say Elsa may have underestimated her new roommate.
For Summer, this move marks an important step forward. Recovery is not just about medical treatment. It is also about safety, stability, social connection, and having the opportunity to simply be a chicken.
Watching her begin to integrate, explore new spaces, and connect with her flock is a meaningful reminder of why sanctuary care matters.
