Little Papito is doing well. He chats and trills non stop. He is so loving! He continues to put weight on his operated leg but is hopping to get around.. I don’t expect him to be walking this early after surgery.. so everything is going as anticipated. Thank you to everyone who donated to his surgery. Papito’s leg was basically backwards when we took him in and he was suffering… flipping around and he was not able to get comfortable… it was a life saving surgery, and I am grateful we could get that for him. #rescue #chick #chicken #legsurgery
I am just leaving the vet hospital after visiting our precious, Bay. Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks that she has been in the hospital waiting for her triplets to arrive. I am grateful she is there as I don’t want any complications. I look forward to the babies being born so that we can start helping Bay to hopefully walk again. I am grateful to be able to visit her and build a trusting bond as I will be helping her with her babies and giving her medical care at the sanctuary. Thank you for all of your amazing support for Bay… your donations make this possible and we are so grateful. Thank you! #sanctuary #goats #loveheals #paralyzedgoat #triplets
BAY UPDATE: … Our precious Bay is still at UCD waiting to go into labor with her triplets. Her vets are checking her babies’ heart rates daily and she gets daily physical therapy. Based on the fact that they can see her babies’ intestines working, they think she is very close to labor. Please think kidding thoughts for this Mama!! Once the babies are born, we can work on figuring out what is causing Bay’s paralysis and come up with a plan for helping her. Thank you for all of your support!! ❤️ #sanctuary #goats
Timmy and Poppy are just two of the animals at the sanctuary who vets recommended we euthanize. Timmy (our sheep), was never supposed to walk… and Poppy would be unable to get around and would have no “quality of life”. These are two of the miracles that keep us doing what we do. Sometimes they need more time and supportive care. This is what I am hoping for with our paralyzed pregnant goat, Bay, who is at UCDavis waiting for signs of labor so she can have her c-section. Once her triplets arrive we can spend time and efforts helping her…. We believe in miracles.. because they happen ❤️🙏 #sanctuary #timmythesheep #poppythegoat #loveheals #timmypoppy
Little Papito is heading home from MCB after his leg surgery. He is doing the chicken equivalent of purring.. called trilling. He is very content and happy. I can’t imagine how much better he feels now that he isn’t flopping around due to his disabled leg. If you are able to donate this precious boy’s surgery, we are still $500 behind. We would appreciate every little bit as it all adds up. Thank you! https://www.paypal.me/funkychickenrescue?locale.x=en_US. https://venmo.com/u/FunkyChicken. #sanctuary #nonprofit #chick #chicken
Sugar Plum is a Mama, and our new blind chick now has a Mama!!! The blind chick we took in from our local feed store tonight, which hatched without eyes, is happily snuggled under one of our disabled house chickens, Sugar Plum. Sugar Plum has been sooo broody, so I tried putting our new chicken under her… Sugar Plum was so happy to usher the chick under her body and our new chick is happily trilling under her new Mama. I will keep a close eye on these two to make sure that Mama doesn’t get too frustrated that baby can’t see. For now, they are the perfect little heartwarming pair. Please comment a good name for the little blind chick. #Blindanimals #blindchicken #loveheals #loveheals #rescue
I visited with our beautiful pregnant Mama, Bay, today. I brought more weeds, and fresh fruit and veggies for her to enjoy. She was so sweet and much less skittish. She let me pet her and give her a lot of face and neck scratches.. something she didn’t allow me to do at our last visit. I am working on gaining her trust so that I will be able to help her and her babies after they are born. She is so sweet. ❤️ 🐐 #goats
Mr. Pea Fowler is quite the vision. He is wooing me with his cha cha noises and his beautiful feathers. It’s hard to believe that I dropper fed him when he was a chick and was brought to me because he wasn’t eating. So proud of this big, handsome man.
BAY UPDATE: today Bay received physical therapy and they assessed fetal heart rates. The vet said that everything sounds good but there are still no signs of labor. We were told Bay’s due date was last Friday. Today is day 9 at UC Davis. Once she goes into labor, she will have a c-section, and then we can start doing diagnostics to figure out how we can help Bay to stand and walk again. Most diagnostics aren’t able to be done with the babies on board. Please keep good thoughts for #Mama and babies ❤️ 🐐 #baythegoat #sanctuary#triplets #goats
Thankfully, Romeo is eating breakfast as normal. He came up to the usual area where they are fed and ate with Zara. This is something he has not done in a week and a half. I have been taking his food to him. I am so grateful he is feeling better and seems to be himself again. He will be kept on a couple of medicines for a little bit longer to make sure he continues feeling better. Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers towards our sweet boy. #emu #zaraandromeoemus
Thank you to our monthly donors, we were able to purchase 20 new kiddie pools, and 50 bags of soil, for the chickens to dust bathe in. The Community Service group from Suisun Valley 4H, came out, in the rain, to help us by removing the old pools, and putting in new pools and soil for the chickens. They are hard workers and got done rather quickly, so they scrubbed all of our chicken waterers. We are so grateful for the help from this amazing group. We are also so grateful for our monthly donors who help us to purchase food, bedding and supplies like the pools and soil. Chickens love to dust bathe and because we have hard soil, we provide them a place to do that. We are so thankful for the support ❤️🐓
Sweet as Sugar! Bay, the Mama that we took in last Sunday is doing well at UCD. I took her a big bouquet of weeds and grass, and a baggie of fruit. I wanted to see what she liked… and she LOVED it all! No signs of labor yet… she is holding on to the triplets a little longer. I am hopeful that they will be born soon so we can start all the diagnostics on Bay to see why she can’t walk. She has been getting daily physical therapy and will get laser therapy once her babies are born. Thank you all so much for your support and donations for Bay and her babies. If you have not donated towards Bay’s care yet, and you are able to help out, we would greatly appreciate any amount. At Bay’s previous home, she was able to get up on an old structure and fell through the roof. She landed about 9 feet below and hasn’t been able to walk on her back legs since. She is at Uc DAVIS waiting for a C-section at the first signs of labor. Thank you for your support. 🙏❤️ 🐐 #goats #kidding #sanctuary
