Bob, Dot, and Rookie retire
April eNewsletter
Author: Arloa Chadwick
Welcome to our monthly eNewsletter! Here, we share all of our sanctuary news, goals, and more on the first Friday of the month.
To start off March, we told you all about all the happenings at Red Jasper in our eNewsletter. The next week, we told you about Henri the hen, and how she had decided she was done with the young chickens and decided to leave! After that we told you all about sheep, and some things you may not have known about them. To wrap up March we told you about Kevin and Mayan, two adult cats who weren’t sweet when we got them, but are now! March was wonderful, and we look forward to what April has in store.
This month, we’re going to talk about our beloved farm animal friends for National Farm Animals day! We’re going to tell you about them and their role in our mission, making a better future for animals, humans, and the planet. The week after we’ll tell you about a Red Jasper Farm & Sanctuary birthday! Can you guess who for? You’ll just have to find out! To wrap up April, we’ll tell you something un-bee-leivable that has Red Jasper Farm & Sanctuary all a-buzz!
Bob, Dot and Rookie the chickens have decided to join Henri in the retirement coop. Rookie was honorably discharged from his job as “sheriff” due to foot complications, and a new rooster- Roo- took his place. Bob resigned from her “mayor” position, and a new hen named Gloria was “elected” for the role. Dot was the most hesitant to retire, but decided to join her pals in the end. The four are now all sleeping in the retirement coop and often get warm omelets or fried rice for breakfast.
We are planning on making a new rooster pen in addition to our plan to make new emergency enclosures and summer goat enclosures. We desperately need to relocate the rooster enclosure away from the hens. When the roosters are too close to the hens, they fight each other. We need to move them quite a ways so that the hens are not in their sight. We’re not sure when we’ll do these projects, so look out for updates.
Here we have our new monthly quiz! The answer will be revealed in our next monthly eNewsletter, the first Friday of next month. Please take a guess, either by clicking what you think the answer is in the poll, and/or commenting below. We love to hear from you!
