Remember the tiny chicks we told you about earlier this year who were saved from being buried alive by a chicken farmer?

Tiny, just-rescued chicks huddle together in their new sanctuary home.

We’re thrilled to let you know that they’re thriving in their peaceful sanctuary home! They’re receiving the best possible care from Animal Rahat’s team of experienced professionals—and they’re enjoying lots of time outside, something they would never have experienced in what would have been their very short lives.

See how much they’ve grown in these latest photos—they’re almost ostriches!
