We had a wonderful visit from an amazing young lady today who took it upon herself to sell her beautiful handmade ornaments at her school’s craft fair and donated 50% of the proceeds to help the animals at Champs.. Thank you so much Nova

In heavy rain Lulu has to come inside. Because she doesn’t preen her feathers she has no oils on them and becomes water logged and hypothermic very quickly. Her cage just happens to overlook the duck yard so she happily rides out the storm while watching her friends dance in the rain ☔️

Blossom arrived almost a year and a half ago. Her crossbeak was severe and she had lost the ability to eat on her own. She was emaciated and needed tube feeding long term. Blossom’s biggest hurdle though was that she had been isolated, living in a cat carrier, for over 4 months and she had no idea how to be a chicken. She loved the dogs and other special needs animals but was terrified of other chickens. It took months but Blossom eventually moved outside with the crossbeak flock and thrived. Unfortunately her cross beak progressed to a point where her tongue collapsed. Not an uncommon occurrence in crossbeaks but recently her tongue collapsed even further into her throat and was obstructing her airway. Tube feeding has been a huge challenge in positioning her as to not block her airway. Blossom was having episodes daily of losing consciousness. We knew her time was becoming increasingly limited. This morning Blossom got her tube feeding with the best possible positioning but shortly after she began to struggle and passed out. I was able to stimulate her and open her airway and she was recovering in my arms then she just looked up at me, closed her eyes, and took one last breath. Blossom was a beautiful sole and she will be missed especially by the youngest of our crossbeaks as she was so loving and welcoming to newcomers. RIP Sweet Blossom girl 🌸

I really thought we were on the right track with Lemon and we were trying so hard to make her better but this morning Lemon had a seizure and passed away quickly and without warning in my arms. She really was the sweetest girl and will be missed for sure 💔

Lemon likes to relax and have some time out of her sling after her tube feedings. She’s the most patient and sweet girl. We’re still praying she recovers her ability to stand and walk 🙏🏻

Noah’s mouth isn’t so inflamed anymore and his eye isn’t so swollen. He’s a little more interested in eating and moving around a bit. 2 more days of antibiotics and he goes back to the vet Thursday. I think we’re on the right track with this sweet boy ❤️

Sawyer was back at vets yesterday.. Just can’t get his poor butt healed.. I have a different ointment and I have ordered inflatable e collars for him in an effort to keep him from licking the area.
Please those of you in rescue.. stop with the cute little diapers and sweet onesies.. keeps everything cleaner except the cat..

Miss Norah arrived today thanks to Stephen for volunteering to transport her about 2 hours. This little one has a huge personality and wasted no time getting to know everyone else here. Norah is severely underweight but we started tube feeding right away and she’ll be gaining weight in no time! Welcome to the crossbeak crew Norah ❤️

Too cold for the pool for these crippled ducks but just right for a tubby

Meet Lulu
Meet Lulu

Lulu just arrived this afternoon as a transfer from another sanctuary in CT. Lulu has severe scoliosis and neurological issues and needed a new place where she can have other duck friends. She’ll be in a separate pen within our duck enclosure for a few days while the other 5 ducks here safely meet her then they’ll be physically introduced with close supervision. Lulu is a petite little girl and with her issues we want to keep her safe. We’re happy to welcome little Lulu to our crew of misfits❤️

Just a ducky kinda day..

Our ever growing Skyler quickly outgrew his beloved travel baby swing. So once again I had to get creative. I found Eden’s old glider chair in the basement and started cutting ✂️. With leg holes and a tail opening Skyler looks way more comfy in this than any of his other slings or seats! And he seems to love the gliding even more than the swinging. When he gets tired of gliding we can take the whole seat off the base and he has a bouncy seat too!

Skyler doesn’t have much mobility but he craves motion. He is happiest being rocked or pushed in his stroller. Today I bought him a used baby swing and he is so content! I need to work on his positioning a bit to make him more comfortable but he loves it!

Not everyone’s happy place but it’s Willy’s

To those interested parties waiting to hear how your babies are doing… all have been moved into the big kid double cage with a litter box. All are now eating dry and wet kitten food and most happy to announce we have had zero accidents since offering the litter box. They are still drinking 4-5 bottles at each meal but my job is so much easier these past few days.. they are tough housing with each other and totally enjoying life.

So hot tonight Journey and Phoenix are having a last dip before bedtime

Shhhh
Shhhh

Shhhh please don’t wake them up
