Blanche was rescued from a cruelty case in December 2017 alongside her friend Stanley and three other females, collectively known as the Golden Girls. She was living in an unfinished barn with missing walls that allowed frigid air to come in, sadly resulting in the death of fellow turkeys and ducks.

When Blanche and her friends first arrived at Barn Sanctuary they were missing many of their feathers as a result of their poor diet and stressful living conditions. Thankfully, the five of them recovered after receiving plenty of TLC from their caregivers.

Blanche is a very unique turkey! She is often found on people’s laps, and may be part lap cat? We’re not sure! Needless to say, Blanche is extremely affectionate, just like her namesake—from the Golden Girls. She loves to pal around with the other Golden Girls: Betty and Sophia (Dorthy, sadly has passed).

Sponsorships help us provide daily care, regular medical checkups, and cover unexpected emergency care. Sponsor Blanche to help us provide the care she deserves!

Introduce me to your friends!
