Honey
Silkie
Chicken
Honey is a gloriously fluffy Silkie whose crossbeak made eating more difficult and left him vulnerable to bullying and isolation in his former flock. With appropriate feeding support and companions who accept him, this sweet, chaotic, highly opinionated chicken has found the safety and confidence to be entirely himself.

Honey’s Journey to Butterfly Valley
Honey is a special-needs Silkie chicken whose giant fluff and even bigger personality have made him unforgettable at Butterfly Valley Rescue & Sanctuary. Honey arrived at around 4 to 5 months old with a crossbeak after being picked on by the flock and living mostly alone without the extra support needed to truly thrive. What he needed most was a safe place where he would not have to fight just to exist.

Care That Changes
Honey currently receives individualized feeding support designed around her crossbeak. Her food and feeding setup help her eat comfortably and maintain appropriate nutrition while participating in life with the flock.
