Rescue Farm Welcomes Unexpected but Adorable Baby Turkey
If you're looking for a heartwarming story, @The Gentle Barn shared one on Instagram on Thursday, September 14th. Not only is it heartwarming, but it's adorable too!
The Gentle Barn is an animal sanctuary. The owner, Ellie Laks, rescues animals who are disabled, from slaughter, and other types of situations. They have a strict no breeding policy, but a new staff was overseeing the farm when Ellie and her husband went to rescue a horse. When they returned home, they found a surprise waiting for them!
The new staff knew they had to collect eggs daily, but didn't know to look under the turkey, Brave. By the time Ellie got home, it was too late to take the egg away and dispose of it humanely, so they decided to let her keep it. @The Gentle Barn only has enough room for rescues, but due to the surrounding circumstances, decided to make an exception. I'm so glad they did because that baby turkey is just too cute. My favorite part of the video is one the baby peeks out from underneath his mama.
Commenters adored the video as well. @thrudaluknglass shared, "You have a beautiful voice and heart Ms Ellie…I just know those animals love seeing and hearing from you." @kendra_pl_b said, "Congratulations!!! I’ve never seen a baby turkey before, and I can honestly say my heart is much better for it! Thank you"!
I'm pretty sure @taradosborne speaks for all of us when she adds, "I’m going to need daily baby turkey updates"! I'll definitely be watching for updates and can't wait to watch this little one grow and experience life on the farm.
