Cheeks, our sweet, blind, older hen is spending the weekend in the hospital at @medicalcenterforbirds as she wasn’t feeling well this week (seen in the second photo cooling off and relaxing in her water bowl before her appointment). Cheeks is a longtime resident of @blackberrycreek and has spent many years visiting classrooms, helping with tours, and teaching people how truly wonderful chickens are. She is super duper special, always “talking” to us when we talk to her and enjoying kisses and snuggles from humans. Her ultrasound and X-rays showed inflamed intestines but nothing conclusive yet as far as a diagnosis. She’s getting the very best care with Dr. Baden and Dr. Speer as they work to figure it out. We are so grateful for them. Please send her all of your love, and if you really want to help chickens, treat them as friends not food. This means leaving eggs out of your diet as well. As long as eggs are consumed by humans, chickens will be legally classified as “food animals” which means they cannot always receive life-saving medical treatment such as chemotherapy that is readily available to cats and dogs. Loving one another means being kind and making choices that cause the least harm to others. ♥️ #cheeks #chickensofinstagram #friendsnotfood #veterinarymedicine #chickensofig #vetmed #avianmedicine #avianvet #blackberrycreek #bekimd #veganforher #veganfortheanimals #bethechange #maketheconnection #farmsanctuary #rescuedandloved #animalambassador #chickensareawesome #sanctuarylife #xray #compassion #easteregger #chickenlover (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuMp3OpTaD/?utm_medium=tumblr
