When we collected them they were undernourished and emaciated, had obvious signs of being pecked at with patches of bare skin – the stressful result of being imprisoned in a large warehouse with 4000 other hens for a year.<\/p>\nSince being with us, however, they have flourished in temperament and physically. They now have the run of our two and half acre field, and along with their corn get to enjoy fresh veg daily, some of which is left in our donation box, some from volunteers, but much from an arrangement with our local Waitrose store. Hopefully more supermarkets across the country begin engaging in this initiative, as there is some much good food that gets wasted.<\/p>\n

He came to us from South Wales with his buddy Teddy. He was born in April 2021 and was hand reared and therefore is very friendly. He is constantly at Teddy\u2019s side making him the perfect bestie.

He has a limp which was derived from either birth or an accident earlier on in his life. His fur is sightly darker than the others. He is the most vocal of the three often having a say when he thinks others might want his food. Initially very nervous around humans, over the last few months he has allowed us to stroke him and now accepts a little bit of attention. Gin can always be found staking a claim at the back of the goat shed which he tells us was built for him. He is about 15 years old.<\/p>\nSammy<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nSammy is a caring gentle natured alpaca who has taken a shine to little Sox the goat. He has the pinkest lips and is always the cleanest of our herd of three. All of the alpacas wander together and enjoy sitting in the goat shed during the day. We are unsure of his age but we have been led to believe mid-teens (in adult years). Alpacas love company and like being around the other animals and volunteers. They are grazing animals, but enjoy their additional feed supplement twice a day. In the summer one would often see them lying on the ground having a sunbathe. They also love to cool down by placing their feet in the water buckets, or using the bathing pool we provide for them.<\/p>\n\nAlpaca Facts<\/h4>\n
Scientific name: Lama pacos.<\/li>\n Collective noun: Herd.<\/li>\n Alpacas hum when they\u2019re curious, worried, content, bored, fearful, distressed or cautious, and make odd gurgling vocal noises when warning off others.<\/li>\n 99% of the world\u2019s alpacas still live in South America.<\/li>\n There are no wild alpacas \u2013 the alpaca is the domesticated version of the Vicu\u00f1a.
