Eeyore's Hen Harbor hasn't added a story.
The Problem
Pinky and Lotus came to Hen Harbor in 2013, along with 83 other hens rescued from barren wire cages on an industrial egg farm.
Two years later, they are haunted by the effects of the egg industry: Both are sick from rotting eggs stuck in their oviducts -- a direct result of laying too many eggs in their short lives. Without surgery, both will die.
Both Pinky and Lotus are still strong and vibrant -- the only evidence of their condition being the huge, hard masses filling their abdomens. However, it is only a matter of time before they succumb to infection.
The Solution
Reproductive issues like the ones killing Lotus and Pinky are the cause of death of 90 percent of all laying hens. However, they don't have to die. While their surgeries may be complicated and expensive, both hens are otherwise healthy and have an excellent chance of making a full recovery.
It would be tragic for these dear birds to have beaten the odds and escaped death in an industrial farm, only to perish now for lack of funds.
How You Can Help
Your donation to Pinky and Lotus' surgery fund can help save their lives! Each bird's surgery will cost from $800 to $1300.
No donation is too small, and each donation is tax-deductible!
(You will receive a receipt for tax purposes after you donate.)
You can also circumvent the middleman and paypal your donation
directly to henharbor@gmail.com or call in a donation (for Hen
Harbor) to Avian and Exotics of Monterey: 831-647-1147.
Why Donate?
Just as important as saving animals from abusive situations is providing them with the veterinary care necessary for them to lead full, heathy lives. Part of Hen Harbor's mission is to treat each bird as an individual who wants and deserves to live -- free of the abuses that human greed has imposed on her.
All too often chickens are denied life-saving veterinary care -- even by the most well-intentioned individuals -- because they are seen as homogenous, throwaway animals who can easily be replaced.
Hen Harbor is an all-volunteer organization, and at least 80 percent of our operating costs go toward veterinary expenses. This means that your donation will go directly to save Lotus and Pinky's lives.
