Goose is a lovable little goose! In Spring 2016, Goose was brought to BMASER by a caring neighbor who saw Goose wandering around a local park. We soon discovered that Goose was purchased as an Easter chick and later abandoned by the owners. Since Goose was raised by humans, his chance of survival in nature was very slim. Goose has acclimated to Burleigh life just fine!Goose is best friends with our female turkey, Maurice. You can catch then laying in the baby pool on most summer days.

Goose adores affection and treats!

Annie was brought to Burleigh Manor by a concerned family who found her wandering around alone. She had been kicked out of her flock by an owner who was angry that she was pecking and eating some of the eggs in the coop. After this ordeal, she was very afraid and skidish. She has calmed down quite a bit now that she is part of her new flock. She has especially bonded with our large rooster, Darkie, who protects her like a hawk. Annie has white earlobes, bright yellow legs,and a perfect single comb.

Haley is a Buff Orpington hen who was left in a clothing donation bin in Baltimore, MD. She was brought to the BARCS animal shelter, and from there she was placed in our care. Upon arrival, she appeared to be very young in age, yet her nails were long and curled under and her back so long she could not eat. She was profoundly malnourished. She is a sweet girl who loves to be held. She is still learning how to socially integrate with the other chickens.

Cali is a Speckled Sussex hen otherwise known as a “Spotty Chick.” She is funny, filled with personality and is all about adventure. She is the first chicken to leave the coop each day and the last one to return. She has an impressive vertical jump when it comes to getting her cheerios!

Susie is an Americana hen, otherwise known as an Easter egger because of the beautiful green-blue colored eggs she lays. She is a very friendly chicken and loves to be held. She spends most of her day hanging out with her BFF, Jane.

Lolly is a Black Australorp hen who came to live at Burleigh Manor in August of 2018.

Not much was known about her but she has a sweet disposition and integrated into the flock quickly. She is calm and can be easily held. Her new friends are Lucy and Dottie. She enjoys tomatoes, Cheerios and meal worms for snacks.
