Brianna was brought to Serenity Farm Virginia after falling from a turkey transport truck. She was found in the road with a severe leg wound and her feathers covered in feces. (More than 1000 turkeys can be transported in open stacked cages which allows the droppings to fall onto the birds below.) The trauma she experienced from the fall and the inhumane transport conditions was obvious in her eyes. She was so frightened that having a person approach her within a few feet caused her to cower, pant, and shake uncontrollably. We moved slowly and spoke to her gently while treating the wound. Within a short time both her physical and emotional wounds began to heal. She is now enjoying life and follows us wherever we go.
