MARCH 1ST, 2021: FIRST CHICKEN ACQUISITION FROM TRACTOR SUPPLY
EIGHT TOTAL CHICKENS (ALL BANTAMS):
P2 is a private farm and sanctuary for non-threatening, Florida woodland animals. We're surrounded by the sound of construction and loss of natural habitat for birds, reptiles and creatures of all sort. Our goal is to provide a natural habitat for them to find respite amid the changing landscape and share the journey with you.

CAN CHICKENS BE RACIST?
Today we put "Puffy-Doo" one of our fluffy white Silkie roosters into the aviary with the four Golden Comet ladies. Our original intent was for two of the ladies to be for Puffy and two of the ladies for Punky our little Silkie rooster with the mammoth personality. We expected fireworks between the white Silkie rooster and the four orange ladies. What we saw was shocking. One by one the ladies did something they never do, they went into their house and left poor Puffy all by himself in the aviary. The ladies turned their backs on the poor little guy and left him. They made it clear, they don't like him.
WHO HERE LOVES CHICKENS? WE DO!
Sunday, November 29th, 2021: The park curators (aka Mark and Mary :-) visited the Funky Chicken Farm in beautiful Melbourne Florida. The purpose of this visit was to vet four female hens for mates with our definitely funky roosters, Punky-Blue and Puffy-Doo (aka Dusty). These two roosters have been forced to live alone because they can't stand any other roosters near them. They are definitely lonely so our goal is to find them girlfriends and hopefully, love and friendship.
Here it is, 14+ minutes of video from the P2 Wildlife Sanctuary and Zoo. Our first little chickens came here when they were only two days old back around March 1 of 2021, now look at our menagerie. The peafowl come and hang around begging for treats every time we have the little chickens out for exercise. Enjoy!
