Eeyore's Hen Harbor hasn't added a story.
Every bird at Hen Harbor is unique and beautiful. Most are rescued from industrial egg farms, and of these birds, all share one tragic characterstic: They have been bred for an early death.
The Problem:
After two years free from their imprisonment at the egg factory, many dear hens at the sanctuary are suffering from deadly reproductive issues directly related to excessive egg production.
How to Help:
The good news is that they can be fixed with proper veterinary intervention! Although there are many birds in dire need, there is hope:
- A Well-Fed World has stepped in to offer to match every dollar you donate, up to $2,000!
- Our wonderful bird vet, Avian and Exotics of Monterey, has offered to do the surgeries and implants at a reduced cost.
- You! Every dollar you donate for the hens is doubled! So that means if you donate $10, it turns into $20, like magic!
Who Will Benefit:
Here are some of the beautiful feathery angels your (doubled!) donation will save:
- Jacinda needs surgery to remove her oviduct after repeated blockages of solidified, impacted egg material.
- Frogface needs a hormonal implant to stop egg production, and stop the build-up of egg fluid in her abdominal cavity.
- Edith needs her hormonal implant renewed, because she is filling with infected egg fluid again, which will kill her.
- Pinky has intestinal cancer and is receiving steriods in hospice care.
- Diane and Meshell have ovarian cancer and need their implants renewed to shut down the hormones that are fueling the tumors' growth.
- Veronica needs surgery like Jacinda's, to remove an impaction from her oviduct (and hopefully the oviduct itself).
How Hen Harbor Makes a Difference
The reproductive tracts of all these hens are malfunctioning because
of one thing: human greed. After being bred to lay at 30 times the
rate a bird would naturally lay, their oviducts are simply giving out.
Many sanctuaries will simply euthanize hens when they reach this
point. But because each bird here is an individual who wants to live,
we strive to give every hen a chance to continue to lead a full, happy life.
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 to Avian
and Exotics of Monterey: 831-647-1147.
