Combining my journalism background and passion for animal rights, I aim to inform, illuminate and inspire our human species to be better stewards to our Earth and all of its furry, finned and four-legged friends. There is no cage, tank or factory farm I won’t tackle to give a voice to our fellow animals.

Christy Becnel was picking up bird feed when she came across a frazzle chicken in serious need of help. Frazzle chickens are generally kept as pets and are admired for their curled feathers. However, while these birds are quite attractive, they, like any other chicken or bird, have specialized needs and require a lot of attention. This little one was found in the back of the bird feed warehouse. Apparently, she had been given up by her guardian a day earlier – with hardly any feathers left on her body. Almost completely bald and broken, it was clear she needed some serious TLC.
Becnel, who has been rescuing birds since she was a little girl, was just the person for the job. The birdie, now named Zazzle, went home with her that day and now has quite the pampered life. She lives in the comfort of Becnel’s home alongside chickens, turkeys, other birds, and even a cuddly cat who adores her feathered family.

I started my flock with bald chickens I took from an overcrowded petting zoo. With time and care their feathers grew and I had so many different varieties. The best part was watching them enjoy being free to move about without all the harassment.
