5 month Rooster update
Our take
It’s been five cluck-tastic months since we rescued Curly, our ditched rooster from the local park, and what a wild ride it’s been! This feathered hero has not only brought joy to our backyard flock but has also saved them from a sneaky fox that thought it could steal the show. Curly has embraced his role with gusto, siring seven healthy chicks and proving to be an unexpected necessity in our little chicken community. His quirky personality and protective spirit have made him a beloved member of the family. Join us as we celebrate Curly's remarkable journey and the delightful chaos he brings to our lives. Here’s to more egg-citing adventures ahead!
Curly's remarkable transformation from park-dumped rooster to backyard hero reminds us why these feathered friends continue to surprise and delight us. This Dumped roosters story hits differently when you consider how one unexpected addition to a flock can completely reshape its dynamics. Much like those 16 chicks and counting! moments that make poultry keepers beam with pride, Curly's tale proves that rescue stories often write themselves with the most cluck-tastic plot twists. His fox-fighting heroics alone would make any chicken enthusiast's heart skip a beat – who knew a castaway could become such a fierce protector?
What strikes us most about Curly's journey isn't just his warrior spirit, but how seamlessly he transitioned from unwanted park resident to indispensable flock leader. There's something profoundly egg-citing about watching a rescued rooster discover his purpose, especially when that purpose involves both defending territory and creating the next generation of backyard companions. This mirrors the UPDATE: Turn of events for the rooster I found!! phenomenon we've witnessed repeatedly – these birds seem to understand they've been given a second chance, and they embrace it with unexpected enthusiasm. The fact that seven healthy chicks now carry Curly's legacy speaks volumes about how rehabilitation can unlock hidden potential in creatures we might otherwise underestimate.
Beyond the immediate heartwarming factor, Curly's story illuminates a broader truth about chicken keeping that extends far beyond basic care requirements. When someone takes the time to provide proper TLC – patience, consistent feeding schedules, and understanding social dynamics – the return on investment comes back tenfold in ways both practical and emotional. This particular rooster didn't just adapt to his new environment; he thrived in it, becoming exactly what the flock needed when they needed it most. It's fowl play at its finest, really, how these animals can sense when they're truly wanted and respond accordingly.
Looking ahead, we're left wondering: how many other Curly stories are waiting to unfold in parks, shelters, and backyard coops across the country? As more people recognize that rescued roosters aren't problems to be solved but opportunities to be embraced, we might see a shift in how communities approach abandoned poultry. The real question isn't whether Curly's heroics will continue – he's already proven his worth – but whether his story will inspire others to give these remarkable birds the second chances they deserve. After all, you never know when a dumped rooster might just save your entire flock.

- Dumped roostersAs per my previous post I, as someone who knows nothing about chickens, have been catching dumped roosters the past year. These guys have already been rehomed, but look how gorgeous they are! I also added clips at the end of how the more scaredy ones are caught. I’ve put so many hours into these guys, but I’ve grown such a soft spot for roosters. submitted by /u/GenimD [link] [comments]
- 16 chicks and counting!I wanted to show off this fantastic momma and her new babies. We rescued her from a neglectful breeder about 5 years ago. The past few years she has been a constant broody girl. So last year we let her do her own thing and she became mom to a sweet rooster. Last week she outdid herself and hatched 16 chicks! submitted by /u/remarkably-done [link] [comments]
- UPDATE: Turn of events for the rooster I found!!After finding the rooster this morning after 2 hours of hide and seek(he was in a tree next to our house but thankfully we found him exactly how he was in the 2nd photo) we checked the infection of his butt and it was starting to turn necrotic, we were cleaning it and putting antibiotics in his water. He was in obvious pain from the infection and with the problems from his eyes I was consider putting him down and I called the vet near me although many don’t take chickens. THE VET WE CALLED HAD BEEN WANTING A ROOSTER!!! We got to drive old timer to the vet and I surrendered the boy and gave an extra $100, they said they’d lmk if it turns out for the worse for him :) but I’m so happy he might find a good home! Thought some of you might wanna know to know the good news for old timer <3 submitted by /u/MagicianWild6198 [link] [comments]
- Little update on my mini rooster if anyone remembers himTurns out he was definitely younger than I thought! He’s grown into an insanely handsome little guy. He’s so happy with the girls that he doesn’t visit me anymore now😠💔 He finally learned how to put himself to bed inside the coop now too. When we first got him we would find him roosting in the tops of the trees. Little wild thing he was. His tail has really grown and perked up. He isn’t as clucky as he was months ago. He now dances for the ladies 😉 submitted by /u/iwtmscod [link] [comments]
