It was a heavy, raw day at Harmony Acres yesterday, but itâs in the âbadâ days that you really see the strength of your community.
Our sweet turkey hen, Girlfriend, had a rough time during mating and ended up severely overbred with deep open wounds. We had to move fast to save her.
A massive, heartfelt thank you to Linzyâshe lives an hour away but didnât hesitate to jump in her car and rush over the second we called. Having that kind of support when things get scary means the world.
We had to get creative with our setup, so we transitioned the goat milk stand into a makeshift medical table. It worked perfectly to keep her steady while we worked. And a huge thank you to Morgan for stepping up as our nurse; her support and extra hands were exactly what Girlfriend needed.
After some stitches and a round of antibiotics, Girlfriend is now resting in the house in the bathtub where we can keep her clean and safe. As we donât want any fly strike getting to that big wound!
Days like today are exhausting, but they remind us that at Harmony Acres, weâre never in this alone.
Send some healing vibes to Girlfriendâsheâs a fighter! đŚâ¤ď¸
