NEW CHICKENS!! ❤️🐓
Today is a big day at the sanctuary — we are taking in three new chickens… AND the mystery animal from the Sacramento shelter! Ranch Dad will be picking up our mystery animal later today. Unfortunately, I can’t get into the truck right now, so I’ll be waiting here at home, counting the minutes until I get to meet our newest family member. ❤️

But first… the chickens!!
Please help me welcome this precious angel, Lacey (aka Fancy Face). She has a cross beak, but she’s still able to comfortably eat her mash. Lacey arrived with her two sweet sisters, Olivia and Buttercup. Buttercup has a curvature in her spine, so she’s a little “bent” (the official medical term 🤣).

All three ladies were very loved in their previous home, but they needed to be rehomed — and we are so grateful they’re here. I already adore each one of them. They will be joining the front yard flock with our other special-needs chickens, where they’ll get lots of love and I can keep a close eye on them.

I’ll share photos of Buttercup and Olivia in the next few days… and stay tuned for the mystery animal reveal later today ❤️🐓🎄

I Make a good Towel
I just got Lizzie out of the bath. She didn’t feel like playing with her duckies today, but she had a nice soak and dried off using my sweatshirt as a towel lol

Gingerbread Houses!!!
Yesterday we held a gingerbread house decorating party for our amazing volunteers. They are such a wonderful group of people and we are so grateful for their help!! ❤️❤️❤️🎄

We have been working with one of the Sacramento shelters to bring home a very special and depressed animal. I know you will immediately fall in love with him, just like I did. His human Mom had dementia and had to go to a living facility… and his brother was in such bad shape he had to be euthanized, We definitely can’t let him spend the holidays in the shelter being depressed. Ranch Dad and I will be headed up to Sacramento to pick him up tomorrow, when we will introduce him to you. No hints 😊 ❤️

Beamer Update:
Ranch Dad and Beamer are quite the team. Although we expected Beamer to be mainly in the house… He is Ranch dad‘s shadow. Beamer helps feed hay, riding around in the mule with Ranch Dad. He is also an amazing road dog.. going everywhere in the car. He definitely fits in here at the sanctuary and we are happy to have him as part of the family ❤️🐓

🎶 You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all? 🎶

I may be biased, but I do believe Romeo makes a cuter reindeer than Rudolph.

BIRDBATH
When we purchased this birdbath, we did not think that a duck would be the type of bird that would be using it lol
Ava Marie is our special needs duck with only one leg. She lives with our special needs chickens in the garage, and goes out during the day. She gets put in a pool to swim, and then hangs out in the front yard. She is often found next to the birdbath, swimming in it or drinking from it. We absolutely adore this precious girl. 😊❤️ 🦆

THANK YOU!! ❤️🐓

We wanted to thank everyone again for their incredible generosity this Giving Tuesday. We know times are tough for so many, and we are deeply grateful for every single dollar that was given. Your kindness truly keeps the sanctuary going.

A huge thank-you to our amazing matching donors, who doubled the impact of all donations — turning your gifts into even more care, safety, and comfort for the animals. ❤️

So, what will your donations support?
Thanks to you, we will be able to:

• Add electricity to the barn — making evening feeding and cleaning safer and easier.
• Redo two of our horse paddocks — Ranch Dad is already gearing up to get these completed for the horses.
• Bring in a large amount of rock — to make feeding routes safer and easier for volunteers during the wet winter weather.
• Cover medical bills and feed — including refilling the hay barn (again!) because these animals go through a lot of hay.

Every donation makes a real, tangible difference. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. We could not do this work without your support — it is absolutely a team effort.

From all of us at Funky Chicken Rescue… thank you. ❤️

❤️🐓 GIVING TUESDAY THANK YOU! 🐓❤️

We are overwhelmed with gratitude tonight. Because of you—our amazing supporters—we reached our $9,000 Giving Tuesday goal, which unlocked our full $9,000 match for the animals!
That’s $18,000 going directly toward feed, medical care, and safe shelter for the 300+ rescued animals who call Funky Chicken Rescue home. ❤️

To everyone who donated, shared, commented, or cheered us on… thank you. YOU make this sanctuary possible.

We also want to extend a huge, heartfelt thank you to our matching donors, whose generosity helped inspire our community to give:

✨ $5,000 — Anonymous
✨ $2,500 — My Favorite Chicken
✨ $500 — Anonymous
✨ $500 — Kathryn B
✨ $500 — Rebecca B

Your kindness doubles the love and doubles the impact. We are sincerely grateful.

From the bottom of our hearts—and from every chicken, goat, pig, cow, turkey, alpaca, and special-needs friend here—thank you for helping us continue this important work.
Love truly heals. ❤️🐓

GIVING TUESDAY UPDATE! ❤️🐓
Because of YOUR incredible generosity, we are now only $340 away from hitting our $9,000 goal — which means $18,000 for the animals once the match comes through!

We are so close, and our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and cheered us on today.

If you haven’t donated yet and are able to give any amount, we would be so grateful. Every dollar gets us closer, and every share helps too.

GIVING TUESDAY UPDATE!
We are only $2,400 away from hitting our $9,000 match — which means when we reach it, the animals receive $18,000 total!
This would be our biggest Giving Tuesday EVER. ❤️🐓

If you haven’t donated yet and are able to give $5 or $10, it truly adds up.
If you can’t donate right now, sharing our post helps so much!

And if you think begging dog eyes are hard to resist…
Lucy’s begging sheep eyes are working overtime tonight, hoping we can reach that last $2,400 by midnight. 🐑🥺❤️

Thank you all so much — we are SO close!!

GIVING TUESDAY!!
WE ARE ONLY $2,886 AWAY FROM OUR GOAL OF $9,000

Today is giving Tuesday and we have a $9000 match. This means when you donate money it is doubled… So if you donate $10 it becomes $20 and if you donate $25 it becomes $50. We are grateful for any amount of donation as it all adds up to care for the animals.
These are some of the animals that you are donating to help this giving Tuesday. Most of our funds go towards feed and medical bills.
We are a nonprofit for animal sanctuary with no paid employees all the money donated because to caring for the animals.
