Shirley

Shirley was kept with two other turkeys, Tiny and Wonky, in a small backyard pen, suffering and without proper care. The flock’s caretaker refused to get any of the turkeys medical attention, even when one of Shirley’s friends stopped eating entirely.

Thankfully, a kind person couldn’t stand seeing this neglect and stepped in. They convinced Shirley’s caretaker to let them bring all three girls to safety at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in spring of 2018. After getting the immediate care she needed, Shirley has been doing great ever since! She is not only beautiful, but she is talkative! You hear Shirley before you see her, and her sweet voice and bold presence are hard to forget.

Shirley prefers the company of chickens and now lives happily alongside one of the Sanctuary’s most social chicken flocks. These beautiful birds, including Peppermint, Geri, and Buffy, have embraced her as a dear friend.
