Yesterday
morning started out with an adventure... While letting
the ducks outside, I walked around the pens to check on
everyone and a little baby turkey was trying to get into
the pens where it saw Dutch and Jack Frost. I caught him
and brought him inside when I realized he had been
separated from his momma turkey. I took care of him all
day and night and was so worried, I barely slept.
Thankfully Michelle at Webbed Foot Wildlife helped by
telling me exactly how to care for him until I could
drive him to her today. She will take care of him and
join him with a few other babies in the same situation
with the goal of re-releasing him into the wild.
After
getting the turkey settled in some pine bows in our
duckling house with a heat lamp and some food and water,
some great volunteers come by to help with our sanctuary
chores! I love it when that happens! Not only did
they come in the right gear and mindset ready to pitch
in and do some real work, but they were fun too--and
they donated duck and goose food dishes and enrichment
toys.
Jim and
Barbie helped us clean cobwebs out the barn, wash out
the quarantine pen, scrub buckets and they were great
with the ducks and geese. Then we all worked together to
reset the goose pond and fill around it with sand and
bricks.
The ducks
LOVED them because they were not afraid to get dirty and
dug around in the ground and found them WORMS! They got
lots of hugs from Jeffrey and Matthew for that!
