So I live on a medium sized farm, and I own a few rare breeds here. I love my birds. I mean I love them. I don’t sell them, I don’t butcher them, and I ethically collect and sell their eggs. I own two goats, ducks, chickens, quail, and one turkey. Ive been trying to breed some of the these rare breeds, in hope of helping the conservation status. Recently I’ve considered labeling my farm, legally as a sanctuary, allow me to continue breeding and collecting more of these rare breeds, like my dark Campbell ducklings, my aylesbury, and I’ve been considering purchasing Dutch Hookbills, who are critically endangered. I feed my birds a healthy variety of foods, and I hand build their habitats myself. I live in a small town, and I’ve almost reached the limit of birds that I can get, but I’m hoping that I can open it and label it as a sanctuary. I don’t want to make money off of my birds, but I want to give a good home to other birds out there because I know, if they go to other homes, they’ll be butchered or shot up with hormones to extend their laying periods. Can y’all let me know how to keep doing this? Or at least how I could try to work with my town to take the first steps of creating a sanctuary? it would truly mean the world to me.
