The Highlanders
In July 2020, we rescued The Highlanders (13 chickens, 12 hens, and 1 rooster) from a severe neglect. 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 for two years, where they lived in severe disarray and filth. They no longer are forced to walk around in their own feces or drink murky water. For the first time ever, they got to enjoy a clean bed of pine shavings, drink from clean and fresh water bowls, and explore their new green pastures.
We’re so thankful they’ll never experience a life of neglect or mistreatment again, and will remain happy and safe at Woodstock Sanctuary.
