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.

Mercutio continues to recover in the medical barn and is happy to be home.

While he remains under close watch and ongoing care, his team has been working to make his temporary space both comfortable and engaging during recovery. One recent addition was a small pool filled with mud to create a temporary wallow for him—and Mercutio has been thoroughly enjoying it.

Wallowing is an important natural behavior for pigs. It helps regulate body temperature, supports skin health, and provides comfort and enrichment. Watching Mercutio relax and enjoy his muddy spa time has been a positive step during his continued recovery.

In another recent update, Sebastian has also temporarily moved into the barn while the FCFS team works on long-term plans for all three potbellies: Mercutio, Sebastian, and Picasso.

Sanctuary care often requires adapting spaces and care plans as residents’ needs change. Recovery, aging, medical care, social dynamics, and long-term quality of life are all part of the ongoing conversations and planning that happen behind the scenes every day.

For now, Mercutio is enjoying his mud wallow, Sebastian is settling into barn life, and the team continues working toward the best future for this group.

Last week was a busy one for the FCFS horse trio.

Magic, Thunder, and Eclipse all made trips to Valley Vet for routine dental care, vaccines, bloodwork, and senior wellness monitoring.

Magic did very well during her appointment. At 29 years old, her teeth are naturally worn with age, but overall she continues to do remarkably well for a super senior horse. Her ongoing Cushing’s treatment was adjusted slightly, and she will continue with regular bloodwork monitoring as part of her individualized care plan.

Thunder also had his teeth floated and had one of his calmest veterinary visits yet. This was the first time he traveled alongside Magic instead of going alone, and having his longtime companions nearby seemed to help him feel more relaxed throughout the experience.

Eclipse had her own separate appointment for dental care, vaccines, and bloodwork. Because she is very nervous about loading onto the trailer, her care team continues to work patiently with her to build trust and reduce stress around transportation. With time, patience, treats, encouragement, and support, Eclipse successfully made the trip and completed all of her care.

The bond between this trio is undeniable. Whether they are grazing together in perfect formation, resting side by side, or greeting each other after time apart, Magic, Thunder, and Eclipse are deeply connected. Each return home is met with greetings, check-ins, and a quiet reassurance as the trio settles back together in the pasture.

This is what proactive sanctuary care looks like. Routine veterinary appointments, senior monitoring, diagnostics, medication adjustments, transportation, preparation, recovery time, and individualized handling plans are all part of ensuring residents receive the lifelong support they deserve.

Not every important moment in sanctuary care is an emergency. Much of it happens quietly through consistency, patience, and ongoing commitment every single day.

Helen and Chino have been enjoying their new mineral block together.

Minerals are an important part of goat health, helping support everything from bone strength and digestion to immune function and overall wellness. Providing access to proper minerals is a key part of individualized daily care for sanctuary residents.

Of course, for Helen and Chino, even snack time is usually spent side by side. Their bond continues to grow stronger, with the two choosing to spend most of their days together—exploring, resting, and checking out anything new as a team.

Safe to say the new mineral block has received their approval.

Pom’s care journey continues. 🐓

For just over a month, Pom has been under close medical care for a serious eye injury. During that time, he has received daily medication, attended two veterinary appointments, and remained under ongoing observation from the FCFS resident care team. It is now believed that Pom has lost vision in the affected eye.

While healing, Pom has been staying in the medical room overnight and spending his days in a dedicated yard where he can safely rest and recover while still remaining close to his friends.

The Roo Crew lives inside the barn, and Pom continues to spend much of his time near Bolin, his closest companion and the unofficial “roo correspondent.” The two regularly check in with each other through the fence, maintaining the social bonds that are such an important part of daily life for residents.

Pom’s care is ongoing, and his recovery space is part of a larger infrastructure project currently underway at the sanctuary. The area surrounding the Roo Crew aviary requires electrical work to ensure the space remains safe, functional, and properly supported through the summer months.

This work is connected to the same repair efforts taking place in Chicken Village. Restoring power and completing critical electrical updates before peak heat arrives is essential to maintaining safe and comfortable spaces for residents receiving ongoing care. At this time, the project has only been partially funded, and work cannot begin until full funding is secured.

Sanctuary care extends far beyond emergency response. It includes daily treatments, long-term recovery plans, adapting spaces to meet changing needs, and ensuring residents like Pom have the safety, support, and dignity they deserve every day.

Please keep Pom in your thoughts as his care continues.

Last week was a busy one for veterinary care at Full Circle Farm Sanctuary.

Venus visited the vet for a hoof trim, while Lotus and Magnolia made the trip together for their own hoof care appointments. Their visit required an overnight stay, resulting in three full round trips to Auburn in just one week.

For Lotus, now 10 years old and considered a senior pig, proactive hoof care is essential to maintaining mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. Magnolia, who is approaching 6 years old, and Venus, who is 12, also require ongoing individualized care plans to support their long-term health and wellness.

Just as the herd welcomed Jupiter home after his recent veterinary visit, they were equally attentive and concerned when Venus needed to leave the pasture for hers. Strong social bonds and awareness within the herd are part of daily life at the sanctuary, and changes in routine are noticed by everyone.

Additionally, Pom the rooster had a veterinary appointment last week as well, and we will be sharing more about his care journey in a future post.

This is the reality of sanctuary care. Not every veterinary visit is an emergency. Much of the work happens quietly through routine appointments, preventative care, follow-up visits, medications, diagnostics, transportation, monitoring, and daily management.

Providing lifelong care means consistently showing up for residents before situations become critical. It means making the long drives, coordinating treatment plans, adapting care as residents age, and ensuring each individual receives the support they deserve at every stage of life.

And the work never pauses. This week, four additional residents are already scheduled for veterinary appointments.

Sanctuary care happens every single day.

In 2024, Helen arrived at Full Circle Farm Sanctuary.

Born blind, Helen came to FCFS as a very young goat after it became clear she required a level of specialized and individualized care that could not be provided elsewhere. At just a few months old, she had already experienced disorientation, isolation, and the risks that come with navigating the world without sight.

With prior experience supporting blind goats, the FCFS team was prepared to meet Helen’s unique needs and help her safely adjust to sanctuary life.

Over the past two years, Helen has grown into a confident, curious, and playful young goat. She has formed deep bonds, especially with Chino, and spends her days exploring, climbing, playing with enrichment, and confidently navigating the pasture she now calls home.

Helen’s journey is a reflection of what sanctuary makes possible. Individualized care, patience, accessibility, and lifelong commitment allow residents like Helen not only to survive, but to truly thrive.

Today, Helen is safe, loved, and free to live life entirely on her own terms—and that is worth celebrating.

Please join us in celebrating Helen’s rescue anniversary at FCFS.

Senior Josh, normally shy Zac, and young Rocky got together for an afternoon play session!

No matter their age, stature, or horn size, they spent the afternoon jumping around, exploring, and enjoying each other’s company.

Watching friendships form across generations is always something special at FCFS.
