Ozzy’s Journey to Butterfly Valley
Ozzy is a Showgirl chick—a unique cross between a Silkie and a Turken—who arrived at Butterfly Valley Rescue & Sanctuary alongside another young chick after a local breeder recognized he would benefit from specialized care. Before arriving, Ozzy had sustained a minor eye injury after being pecked by another chicken. Although the injury was not severe, the breeder was concerned that remaining with the flock could lead to continued bullying and place Ozzy at greater risk of additional injuries.
