Age-of-Goositude
Songster
I adopted three roosters from roostersanctuary.org a little over a year ago one passed but the other two I've rehabbed and are doing pretty well for themselves. Caspian was in my main flock for a while but he got scalped because he refuses to fight at all to keep his rank, got scalped, went to the vet, and the other rooster I had to rehome due to this continuous behavior. But here is Caspian now and his flock when I first got Caspian he would flog me and bite me and scream and kick if I picked him up, he couldn't stand being near anybody. Then I was given some hens and one in particular was always alone in my flock so I decided to put her with him and it just so happens she really helped with his anxiety. I constantly would feed him and give him water and he would watch and I would sit with him every day outside and hold him before bed, he now on ocassion will allow people to pet him, he does not flog, and rarely will bite. I would not put it past him to flog someone if they picked one of his girls up and he thought they were in danger so without further adu Caspian and his crew. He has kicked off a toe and both his Spurs in the fence since we had him. A hardware cloth run is in the works for them otherwise they are fine in their enclosure for now.
Caspian
Carrot - The side chick
Daisy - this is my boyfriend's girl the boys find it easy to get at her and Caspian hardly pays attention when it comes to breeding her so she benefits in this area, he saved her from an auction and for about four days she was laying two eggs a day.
Belle - Belle was adopted from Sky's the Limit who got her, two other little hens, and a rooster at a place where feral chickens roamed due to being dumped, two of the four passed last winter I heard others at the site had been carrying something that doesn't go away so I'm assuming it was that. She was depressed and lived inside a long time but she really enjoys Caspian's company and enjoys being a part of his little society.
Last but not least Taco - his favorite girl and only one he breeds, she's always been there for him and helps reduce his anxiety and comfortable him when he's upset, if she doesn't like someone and attacks them he helps her, they're quite the pair, she's a bit more timid than he is.
The rest are of them enjoying the day and getting egg treats and Caspian being petted.
