Mabel is one of Dan's and Rebecca's rescue chickens.
She was rescued by Dan and Rebecca in February 2023 at the age of 18 months, from a hen farm which slaughters the hens when they reach that age.
Life[]
Mabel was named after the character from Gravity Falls. While the farm she came from was officially termed "free-range", Dan and Rebecca have said the living circumstances there were still "quite awful". When she was rescued, Rebecca found her to be on top of the pecking order, despite being almost completely plucked naked on her butt [1][2] . As she settled into the lovely coop and living space Dan and Rebecca built for her and the other chickens, she bloomed a little and gained back some feathers.
