145 Abandoned Chicks Rescued and Rehomed in Germany

The chicks, found near Leipzig in freezing conditions, have been transferred to a specialized animal care organization for long-term support.

145 newly hatched chicks were discovered abandoned on a field near Leipzig in winter temperatures, with one chick not surviving.
The animals were taken in by the Leipzig animal shelter, where they were provided with warmth, water, and food for recovery.
The chicks have now been transferred to the Federherz organization in Bergheim, NRW, which specializes in caring for such animals and providing them a better quality of life.
Authorities determined that a private individual was responsible for abandoning the chicks, which constitutes a violation of animal welfare regulations.
The ongoing investigation could result in a fine of up to 25,000 euros under current animal protection laws.
