Houdini the rescue turkey has a lucky escape

At just three weeks old, Houdini escaped a turkey farm and, thanks to some kind people, found his way to Hopefield. Instead of becoming someone’s Christmas dinner, this little turkey now has a safe home and the chance to grow up, thrive and enjoy life.
Meet Houdini, our little turkey with a very big second chance. At just 3 weeks old, Houdini arrived at Hopefield this weekend after escaping from a turkey farm. Thankfully, some kind people found him, got him to safety and contacted us to ask whether we could give him a home.
Houdini would have been raised and slaughtered to become someone’s Christmas dinner. An estimated 7 million turkeys are produced for the UK’s Christmas market each year, and sadly, most never get the chance to grow old. There’s more on this in our blog about why a turkey’s life is worth more than a meal, so do read and share if you can. READ HERE.
But Houdini’s story has taken a very different turn. He now has a safe home at Hopefield, where he’ll receive the care he needs and the chance to grow up, discover his personality and simply enjoy being a turkey. We’re so grateful to the lovely people who helped him. Their kindness changed his whole future.
Welcome to the Hopefield family, Houdini. You’re safe now
