Meet Hixby! If you noticed we were MIA on social media for a few days last week, it’s because we were on a road trip picking up this sweetie along with two hens, two ducks, and a goose! Hixby was found as an injured wild pigeon and a wonderful human nursed him back to health. She released him back to the wild, but he chose to stick around, roosting at her home and eventually becoming a beloved member of her family. Unfortunately, she and her family are facing some life challenges that make it impossible for her to continue to care for her beloved bird friends, and she wanted to find them a safe home where they would never be slaughtered, exploited for eggs, or treated in any way less than family. Hixby is now safe with our board member, @dianapope238 who is an expert in pigeon and dove care, and the rest of the birds are home at Blackberry Creek! We’ll be letting our volunteers name the new arrivals who will each need sponsors soon. Stay tuned for updates! Welcome home, friends! 💛 #friendsnotfood #rescuedandloved #sanctuarylife #belimd #pigeonsofinstagram #ducksofinstagram #geeseofinstagram #roadtrip #kindnessismagic #resciedanimals #safeandloved #placercounty #colfax #sacramentovegan #blackberrycreek #farmanimalsanctuary #loveoneanother https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQGyQ3pl9g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Meet Susan! 🐣 Susan is still a baby and arrived at @blackberrycreek a couple of weeks ago after her owners surrendered her due to her blindness. She was getting picked on by her flock mates and needed a safe place to grow up. After having her for only a day, we quickly realized that Susan is not blind at all! She simply had a bad eye infection that was left untreated, and one of her eyes was completely swollen shut. After antibiotic ointment and some alone time in our special needs aviary, Susan is doing great and will soon be ready to join our regular flock. Because she is young and still peeping like a baby, she needs a few more weeks of growth before we integrate her with the adults, but we are excited for her to have a brand new flock of friends and a very happy life ahead of her at the sanctuary! If you’d like to sponsor Susan’s monthly feed, bedding, and vet care, you can become a monthly supporter at patreon.com/blackberrycreek or on our website at blackberrycreek.org Thanks to @marjib for finding this sweetie and @misterrogersandme for transporting. 🙏🏼 #welcomehome #safeandloved #friendsnotfood #loveoneanother #chickensofinstagram #chickenlover #polishchicken #cutiepatootie #crazyhairday #susan #chickensofig #chickensmakemehappy #babychick #babychicks #chickenrescue #rescuedandloved (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTDWkpWhrX5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Meet Poppy, a beautiful Pekin duck who was abandoned in a pond in the foothills and nearly died. She is facing severe malnutrition and dehydration, external wounds, and neurological damage from either a head injury or toxin. We just took her into our care this morning and are down at @medicalcenterforbirds for emergency hospitalization. They will be providing IV fluids and nutrition, lab work, blood testing for lead poisoning and infection, doing x-rays, and attempting to save her life. If and when she is able to come home to Blackberry Creek, her new friend, our disabled duck Puddles, will be waiting to welcome her with open wings. If you are able to contribute even a small donation to her care it would be greatly appreciated as our rescue/medical fund has been used a quite a bit this year already. Thank you to our wonderful supporters for being the reason we can continue to save lives, and thank you Dr. Baden for making room@in your very busy day to help this most deserving girl! #grateful #safeandloved #ducksofinstagram #loveoneanother #donorsrock #nonprofit #rescuedducks #ducksofig #ducklover #pekinduck #pekinducks #savealife #bekind #friendsnotfood #animaladvocate #dontdumpducks #animalsanctuary #vetmed #birdvet #vetmedworld #vetmedlife #herlifematters #veterinarymedicine #helpothers #bravegirl #farmanimalsofinstagram #farmanimalsanctuary #rescued (at Medical Center For Birds) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMVeU-Xsrob/?igshid=1jq8843y7nw18

Stunning Onyx was found wandering the streets of a busy #sacramento area neighborhood and was taken in by a kind woman who thought she might be a rooster (her former name was Mr. Cluckers)! She brought her to @blackberrycreek in the summer of 2020 where she is safe and loved by her human and non-human family and will never be exploited for meat or eggs. #friendnotfood #safeandloved #gorgeousgirl #chickensofinstagram #henfriend #chickensrule #veganforher #petstagram #chickenoftheday #veganfortheanimals #bekind #beautifulchickens #onyx #stunning #sanctuary #rescuedandloved #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #chickensofig #chickenlife #chickensareawesome #chickensarefriendsnotfood #eggsarecruel #govegan (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKcaacpsDct/?igshid=vno67zfkamvj

Did you know pigs are the fifth smartest animal on Earth and can easily learn things like their names and how to sit even as tiny babies?! Notice Crommy’s model “sit.” It is because of your generosity that pigs like Cromwell, who were destined for slaughter, have safe permanent homes here at Blackberry Creek. Cromwell’s pregnant mother literally jumped off the slaughter truck onto the freeway to save him and his siblings. Because of his large size and some genetic factors, Cromwell and his brothers need intensive lifelong hoof care. Three to four times a year they are sedated by our veterinarian, the cracks in their hooves dremeled out, and any infection treated. They also receive pain medication post-procedure. To help this process be safer and easier, we are building a veterinary chute and medical stall to aid in lower stress treatment for them and a safe, cozy, isolated place to recover. You can make a profound difference in their health with a year-end donation toward their veterinary care ... which will be DOUBLED until 11:59pm on 12/31! Give through the link in our bio, on PayPal, our website, or Venmo @blackberrycreeksanctuary Enormous thanks to our generous matching donors, Damon and Fonda Webber, and two anonymous families! #thankyou #safeandloved #rescuedpig #cromwellthemagnificent #pigstagram #piggo #pigsofinstagram #crommy #veterinarymedicine #bigpig #lovemuffin #pigsofinsta #rescuedandloved #sanctuarylife #blackberrycreek #loveoneanother #donorsrock #pigoftheday🐷 #veganforhim #friendnotfood #pigsofig #piglovers #pigoftheday #pigsareawesome #pigsaspets #bekind #vegansofinsta #piglover #friendshipgoals #momandcrom (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJb7EnyMoj4/?igshid=1cn6z6xbzfv3

When MacFarland was a baby he was dehorned/disbudded, an incredibly painful practice where the nerve rich horns are removed or the buds burned so as not to continue to develop. This is done by farmers for safety or economic reasons though the animal cannot give consent and is not given pain medication. Mac’s left horn grew back in completely deformed and brittle, and last week he broke it off when he hit it on a fence (swipe right for the aftermath). After bleeding an alarming amount, it finally stopped with the application of cornstarch. Just one of the many ways animals are exploited by humans. If you think “grass-fed” or “free-range” animals don’t suffer, think again. #veganforhim #macfarlandthehighlandcoo #safeandloved #eatbeansnotbeings #loveoneanother #blackberrycreek #highlandcow (at Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B794OH-nexl/?igshid=dbqiv77tpvcc

Guess who’s BACK?! Mighty Mo Mistletoe was the first of the pigs to brave the new trailer ramp and the ride home from our evacuation property in Auburn!!! He and six of his buddies have been staying there since the #riverfire in August. They had a beautiful pasture and creek and lots of love from our board member, @dianapope238 and her husband Glenn who we appreciate more than words can say! Because of all of YOU, we were able to fund over $1900 for a used trailer ramp that we had professionally welded to the back of the trailer by @sundownertrailers in Auburn. They did an amazing job, redoing the entire bumper and door so that it fits perfectly and adding a bolted on, non-slip mat for the animals. Thank you, Dalton! We’ve been doing some positive reinforcement and exposure training (with vegan donuts! 🍩) to get the pigs comfortable using the ramp and being in the trailer. A few are still afraid because they associate it with having to evacuate during the fire, but we are making progress! Mo is happy to be home at @blackberrycreek and Percival (who returned home from his evac spot with Animal Services in mid-August) is so happy to have a pig friend back! We’ll be going live later today, 10/6, to show you all the new ramp!
