Last week, I made a new friend. 
I like friends. 
This is Fiona. 

It is difficult to see her in the photo (she is tiny & quite shy) but Fiona is a dwarf ewe. This very petite (only 20lbs) little sheep had to undergo a BIG surgery a few months ago to amputate her rear back leg. Full grown & super sweet- this mini 3 legged sheep is the cutest! She gets along just fine! 

But, Fiona needs some friends while she's going through rehabilitation. The bigger farm animals can kinda knock her over. As a petite wobbler myself, I understand!

Lucky me- I was contacted by the lovely Erica from Flat Broke Farm Animal Rescue 
http://www.flatbrokefarm.net
She was looking for some poultry buddies for Fiona. Flat Broke Farm Animal Rescue takes in unwanted or displaced farm animals & provides them with a healthy, fun living environment along with medical care & training. The rehabilitated animals are then available for adoption to forever, loving homes. 

I knew right away that my tiny Silkie & Polkie crew would be a great addition to Fiona's life. So last Saturday I drove to FBF & introduced Fiona to her new buddies- 2 Polkie & 3 Silkie chicks. Erica has a great set-up for them (including a chicken 'castle' so the chicks can have a place of their own if Fiona isn't feelin' the love) all warm & toasty, with lots of fresh air & sunshine. 

This is a wonderful organization, and I encourage anyone reading this blog to check them out!

These are the chickies I have left, getting so big!!
