Turkey kiddos
CHAD
(rescued June 2019) Chad is a girl turkey that came to live at Cloven Heart in 2019 after falling from a truck that was taking her to be slaughtered. She has had her beak tip cut off and her toe tips cut off which is a common practice in the raising of turkeys for food. Chad has difficulty walking due to her toes and weight. We have to be very careful to not over feed her. She loves to sun bathe. She loves to just lay around and enjoy the sunshine or a cool shade. Her favorite spot is in her barn stall with the fan on her. |
BOB
(rescued June 2019) Bob is a girl turkey who fell off a slaughter bound truck with Chad. They were both on their way to be slaughtered but were picked up by animal control instead and came to live at Cloven Heart. Bob had the tip of her beak and toes cut off which is part of the practice observed in agriculture. Bob is a very active turkey and loves to walk around and check out everything that's in her yard. Eating is her favorite past time. |
SHEA
(rescued September 2019) Shea came to live at Cloven Heart in 2019. She was a turkey baby reject from a local feed store. Shea was a very cute baby and she grew into a very sweet but also bossy adult. She loves walking around with her best friend, Coulee. They grew up together as a babies. She lives a free life without the risk of getting sent to slaughter for a holiday meal. She just gets to enjoy the sunshine and her friends every day. |
COULEE
(rescued September 2019) Coulee is quite possible the most beautiful turkey boy in the world. He was a baby turkey reject from a local feed store and had no home until coming to Cloven Heart in 2019. Watching him grow up was fascinating. Coulee is very food motivated and will come running full force if he thinks you might have a treat in hand. He's so in love with food that we had to switch the feed bowls to rubber because he would slam his beak down so hard he once cracked it. Coulee loves to flirt with all the ladies by fluffing out his feathers and walking around them. He also is very big on supervising every event taking place near the barn. He is very into getting kisses on his head and getting rubs under his wings. |
