Hello, it’s Patagonia the chicken! If you happen to apply Animal Position (me) on social media, chances are you’ll know me from once I taught caregivers power, carried out high quality assurance inspections at the pigs’ watermelon, and made certain that the rooster well being take a look at notes have been so as.
However should you don’t, let me let you know a bit of about myself and why I’m clucking to your assist.
Previous this yr, I lived at an natural egg farm. It was once a coarse existence for me, as a result of It’s not that i am the healthiest chicken on this planet. (I’m the good.)
So whilst I struggled to devour, the farm saved taking my eggs to promote to people. It’s possible you’ll assume since the farm is pasture-based and natural that it was once a really perfect existence. However from time to time hawks would kill hens and none people won particular person care. We have been by no means safe towards avian influenza. After I and the opposite hens grew to become two, the farm deliberate to promote us for slaughter. 😔
That every one modified when Animal Position rescued me and just about 600 different hens! Many of the hens discovered eternally properties however I made up our minds to arrange store on the sanctuary. I find it irresistible right here an excessive amount of!
Now I obtain day by day maintain problems with my crop that by no means won care on the farm, in addition to draining fluid build up in my abdominal – a process I undoubtedly don’t like. I are living in a stall with different particular wishes hens, who I supervise however don’t affiliate closely with.
Right here’s the item I may just use your assist with. My fellow flockmates were on flockdown for 2 years. Avian influenza can kill a complete flock of chickens and turkeys in a couple of days. Supporters helped construct particular overhangs in order that we will have a small, protected out of doors house. However it was once supposed to be momentary.
Sadly, I don’t assume chook flu goes away any time quickly. So I’ve asked a ramification of all of our yards! I’ve nice pull on the sanctuary, however as a rooster, I shouldn’t have cash or opposable thumbs!
However you do!
The plan I’ve proposed is to put in no less than 100 toes of coloration fabric out of doors each and every one among our stalls. This is able to give us more room and extra daylight. It will stay us as protected as conceivable from chook flu till a extra everlasting resolution can also be advanced. The people appear receptive however inform me this calls for requesting assist!
Will you assist me get this plan carried out?
I won’t have a bank account, however I’ve been ready to rely and do mathematics since I hatched out of an egg! Here’s my breakdown of the way you’ll be able to assist give me and my flockmates some extra out of doors house:
- $10 buys two t-posts
- $20 is helping purchase and set up a fifteen′ publish to attach the fabric to in the principle stall’s backyard.
- $40 covers 80 of the 12,000 sq. toes coloration fabric wanted.
Thanks!
With clucks of appreciation,
