The Highlanders

In July 2020, we rescued 13 chickens we would come to call The Highlanders from severe neglect. These poor birds lived in horrific filth and were forced to walk around in layers of their own feces with only murky water to drink. They arrived in poor condition and needed immediate medical attention. After a few weeks of intense treatment, the flock was finally able to go outside and enjoy their new forever home in sanctuary!

Their new life is a drastic change from the horrific neglect they experienced; they now enjoy clean beds of pine shavings, drink from fresh water bowls, and explore their new green pastures. We’re so thankful they’ll never experience a life of neglect or mistreatment again.
