ANIMAL STORIES
When Zoe becomes ZoHe
It was a typical morning at 5am. I’m having my coffee and checking the sanctuary’s email when something catches my attention. An email from a family right here in our Santa Ynez Valley, who had brought 5 chicks home, after being ‘guaranteed’ the chicks were all female. Well, needless to say, the little baby chicks were so cute and cuddly that the family fell completely in love with them, especially their two young children.
The Thing About Roosters...
When we started taking in abandoned and unwanted farm animals, we quickly realized that roosters were farm animals in desperate need of help. Often due to city ordinances not allowing roosters, families were desperate to find their roosters a safe forever home. Most of the families we encountered had purchased the roosters as chicks believing they were hens, until they started to crow, and then their neighbors complained. Anyway, you get the picture.
Save a Rooster!
Martha’s Farm Animal Sanctuary has been saving abandoned, unwanted and need-a-new-home roosters for years. The roosters at our sanctuary are well cared for, have freedom to roam, and can sing to their heart’s content.
