HELPING ALBERTA'S ANIMALS
Pulling an allnighter to save chicks
It was a Friday evening this summer when our on-call Peace Officer received a call that abandoned chicks had been found in a box in a back alley. To make matters worse, it had been raining all day and the days-old chicks were cold and wet.
The Peace Officer immediately jumped into her truck for the one-hour drive to the community. She stopped along the way to pick up supplies for the chicks. When Peace Officer Stevenson arrived, she expected to find a couple dozen birds. Instead she found over 100!
Peace Officer Stevenson gathered up the chicks into totes and loaded them into her truck. She had called a vet and knew the first course of action was to get warmth onto them, so she blasted the heat in the truck for the entire drive back to her house. She could hear the chicks starting to chirp. The heat was working!
The next day, Peace Officer Stevenson called a caretaker so the animals could be placed in a more suitable location for their ongoing recovery. Unfortunately, some of the chicks did not make it, but the majority did survive. And within a couple of week, they had doubled in size.
Calls come in at all times of the day, and if the call is urgent, our Peace Officers pack up and head out to ensure the animals in question are helped, and their distress is relieved as quickly as possible.
Once home, Peace Officer Stevenson dried each chick and separated the weak chicks from the stronger ones. She put egg cartons and feed into the totes to help keep the chicks apart. However, their natural inclination was to pile onto each other for warm. Peace Officer Stevenson ended up staying awake most of the night so she could continually separate the birds and prevent them from smothering each other.
