Meet Beaker

Beaker arrived at Ahimsa Safe Haven as part of a group of vulnerable chicks facing imminent danger. Among them, Beaker stood out with his unique crossbeak, a condition that often leads to rejection. Recognizing his special needs, we knew Ahimsa would be his forever home.

As Beaker grew, we transitioned him and his companions to a specially prepared, heated coop, ensuring their comfort in a climate unsuitable for their breed. Beaker's quirky habit of standing in his food while eating, often adorning his face with bits of feed, quickly endeared him to all of us.

Despite being deemed "imperfect" due to his crossbeak—a trait that rendered him undesirable for breeding—Beaker embodies the intrinsic value of every life. His presence reminds us that worth isn't determined by utility but by the simple fact of existence.

Recently, we noticed changes in Beaker's behavior; he was being chased away by the head rooster and isolating himself. Understanding that such dynamics often indicate health issues, we promptly took him for a veterinary examination. The diagnosis was mild dehydration. We immediately added extra water dishes to ensure he had ample access, even if others attempted to exclude him. Since then, Beaker has reintegrated with his flock, resuming his normal, spirited activities.

Beaker's journey from a vulnerable chick to a cherished member of our sanctuary family highlights the profound impact of compassion and dedicated care. His story serves as a testament to the belief that every being is valuable, and deserving of love and respect.
