MEET THE ANIMALS!

Sunny Day is the second youngest alpaca after Danny. Her mother is Persia. You can spot her easily because she has such lovely colors, with a pale underbelly!

When we built Unity Farm in 2012, we started with a dozen hens. Now we have 100 Hens and 25 Roosters. The ideal ratio is about 5 hens to one rooster but many local towns do not allow roosters, so Easter chicks often result in Sanctuary rescues.

Guinea Fowl (the breed comes from West Africa) roam the Sanctuary eating all the ticks. Although John had Lyme disease 3 times in the past, he's not had a single infection since the Guineas have been on duty.

Tofu is a Potbelly pig who came to the Sanctuary after he was wisely surrendered to MSPCA from a college dorm. He is the most relaxed of our minipigs

Handsome Winston is a
sweet Jacob Sheep. He is distinctive in our group with his black socks, spots and two horns!

Sweetie came from a riding lesson barn. She has since retired after many years of teaching children to ride but still loves visitors. We definitely pamper her, since she is a senior.

Our many ducks are a mixture of Runners, Pekins, Swedish blues, Rouens, and Cayuga. The waterfowl all live together and spend their days swimming in our streams and ponds.

Our turkeys have a lot more to say than just "gobble-gobble"! We have Royal Palms, Narragansetts, Blue Slates, and Broad Breasted Whites. Each is safe and sound at Unity and has their own personality and unique style--just ask Palmer or Handsome Paul!

Tomie is a gorgeous fellow who looks a little like a llama (those ears) and a little like an alpaca. He made a best friend with Monroe Alpaca right away!

Tahoe was a rescue from Sudbury MA and is the biggest alpaca in the bunch. He is very laid back and easy going.

Our geese are American Buff, Tufted Toulouse, Toulouse, Chinese Brown and Chinese White. Geese are the watch dogs of the farm and honk loudly whenever there is trouble.

In Memory - Tinkerbelle came from Maine with many of the others. Despite being the tiniest alpaca at the sanctuary, she was always first to the food. She was very good natured and the easiest going alpaca. We miss her!

Wallace was born on March 23rd, 2019 and was surrendered to the Sanctuary after a guardian angel saw him in a veal crate. He is very playful. He is a cross breed of Highland Angus and his horns are a bit goofy. (yes they are trimmed each year)
