Community Members Save Turken Chicken

This month, IRWD Natural Treatment System staff helped a group of community members rescue a turken chicken that had been dumped at the City of Orange’s El Modena Park, site of IRWD’s El Modena NTS basin. The community members gathered there early on the morning of May 8 to capture the hen and deliver her to Foothill Feed & Grain in Orange, where she will be under the watchful eyes of management until a home can be found. The rescuers named her Winner-Winner.

“Thought it sounded better than Dinner-Dinner, which is what might have become of her down at the pond,” said local nature photographer Noel Laflin, who shared photos of the experience.
