#farmanimalrescue

It started with a post: “geese to rehome.” At that time, we were looking for company for Bonnie, who was left alone again after Klaksio died.

When we arrived, it turned out that the geese were only a small part of a much bigger story. An elderly man had been taken to hospital, and dozens of animals he had collected were left without proper care. The next day, someone was supposed to come and kill and sell the farm animals.

We took as many as we could fit into the car.

26 lives in total: 2 rabbits, 3 guinea fowl, 2 geese, 1 duck and 18 chickens.

Some of them later found good homes, some sadly passed away because of earlier neglect and illness. Some are still with us today ❤

There are many difficult and sad moments in our foundation life, but there are also happy ones — and those are the ones we love sharing the most :-)

After many discussions, extra fox-proofing, three years without a fox incident, and buying a bigger coop, we decided to welcome some new chickens.

Welcome on board, little ones!

For now, just a small sneak peek — more about our new residents soon.

At the moment they are still so scared that they run away as soon as they see us. We don’t know what they have been through before, but it probably wasn’t anything good.

They don’t know it yet, but they have just won the lottery. They will have a peaceful life, space to simply be chickens, and they will be loved.
