Moments from today with the emergency rescue fosters 🐓
The weather hasn’t been scorching hot the last couple of days and it even sprinkled, so these boys got to spend time in the sun, dirt & grass. Their original situation was a 20 chicken rescue from a cruelty case- the same one where the man dragged his horse on a rope with his truck and left him to die in front of a neighbor’s house on the Eastside.
*We want to note that all of these set ups are temporary enclosures because e acted fast with no time as these sweet guys didn’t deserve to die. The only enclosure that was already built are where the 3 boys in the last 3 slides are, our Quarantine Cantina*
After that, all but Roo Baby (slides 7 & 8) were given a day to be pulled from The Animal Foundation and weren’t even listed to the public for adoption (Roo Baby had 2 extra days).
Señor in the first two slides is the 2nd most nervous rooster (the first is Iroh who isn’t pictured because he didn’t feel like photos today). We’ve been rescuing chickens for years now, and love, patience and attention to their individual & species needs has been the foundation to support all who come to us.
Ra (slides 3 & 4) is the goofiest dinosaur, very energetic and very friendly with his stuffed hen friend 😅
Aang (5 & 6) is a naked neck chicken with a loud voice who loves snacks.
Roo Baby (7 & 8) was the only boy who wasn’t from the fiery case, but we knew his “due out” day was near and could’ve leave him. He’s the gentlest of the group and loves to be held.
Apa, Zuko and Sokka (and Iroh) are the biggest of the crew and all get along. Iroh isn’t with them as he’s been recovering from what we believed was a slight infection that he’s been on antibiotics for, and is doing well now thankfully. We’ll be taking all 4 of these boys to the vegan sanctuary Little Green Valley Animal Sanctuary in early September.
We really appreciate all of the towel, p*e pad, and monetary donations toward food & supplies for our 8 extra guests. It’s been a tiring month with their care along with their care of our 14 other chicken and duck residents, but we’re grateful they’re safe with us instead of the alternative.
