TURKEYS 

PEARL

Pearl and her sisters were fated to be served as somebody’s Thanksgiving dinner. Fortunately for Pearl, the man who bought her for dinner decided to sell his house and could not sell it with turkeys in the yard. So we got a call to rescue dear Pearl and now she will live a life of luxury with her sisters for the rest of her natural life.

Carole

All Carole knew about life was her 8’ x 4’ encolsure, where she lived with another turkery and 4 ducks in filthy conditions. She was headed toward someone’s dinner table, but her luck changed when the property she lived on was being sold. No wanted property with poultry on it - so a wildlife rescueer was called in. She took in the ducks, then helped place Carole and her friend at Kindred Spirits Care Farm. They were in poor shape when the arrived - broken feathers and swollen feet. But with time and care they are healing. And despite her hard start in life, Carole loves to be around people and likes nothing better than to snuggle up next to visitors. This lucky girl has found her forverer home, and we are so happy to have her!

Brownie

Brownie was brought to us by a boy who raised Brownie as a 4-H project. As a rule, 4-H animal projects end with the slaughter of the animal, but this compassionate boy did not want to send his beloved bird to be killed. He asked if we could take her in because he could not keep her. How could we refuse? Brownie is a gorgeous girl with iridescent feathers and a sweet disposition. Like all birds who were bred to be eaten, she has a genetic tendency to get too large, so she is on a calorie restricted diet, but she gets lots of low-calorie treats, so she is a happy girl.

Carrington

Carrington was raised to be someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. We are so happy that she did not meet that fate. Instead, she gets to live here at the sanctuary where she will be loved every day of her life. Carrington is a very affectionate turkey. She shows people that every turkey has their own personality and Carrington just loves love. She likes to sit in people’s laps and get her soft feathers stroked.

Buddy

Buddy lost almost his entire flock to a coyote attack. Since it was impossible to make his home safe from another attack, he and his remaining chicken friends came to live with us at the Ranch. It took him a while to feel comfortable again, but now that he does he is constantly showing off his beautiful plumage. He also makes the most wonderful chuffing sounds. Buddy thinks he is the best looking turkey at the Ranch, and who can argue with him?
