Our latest rescue, very abused, but he found us now is happy

[88pie88]

1. this rooster was rasied in a farm similar to yours. its just he lost a fight and had to leave. if you think a human did this you must be stupid. i raise chickens. one time a rooster killed my favorite chicken because she was sick, so i kicked him and it killed him (didnt mean to). but if it was a human it would of been dead. roosters are raised to protect flocks not for meat since there mean dosent taste as good. and chickens are not abused before there eaten. ignorant hippy crap

[jk09345568]

That means that he died in March 2010.

[LordObby]

i'm glad that he lived enough as to know the love from some one caring and loving

God bless you and hope there would be more ppl like you that would take the time and love to rescue a poor abused and abandoned animal.

[yvonnespearing]

0_o You have a gun!

[animalsrawesome2011]

I LOVE CHOOKS!!! :)

[dinohunter00]

good job

[Beelie2007]

OMG bless you for saving him. SOrry that he has since passed but you gave him a good life. I have chooks and also do my best for them. I dont eat chicken at all. Thank you for saving another of G-ds creatures xxx

[queenkittens]

Oh jesus christ, God bless America! Lets grab our guns and shoot dogs, cause that's totally NOT animal abuse, is it? Good on you for saving the rooster, but honestly I find your logic incredibly difficult to understand. Only in America...

[Jesusgal33]

I have raised chickens for meat and eggs since I was a little girl and I have never seen anything like this. Our chicken's run free (except at night) and have all their beaks and claws still firmly attached to their bodies to run to. They are fed organic chicken scratch and greens and food scraps and what ever bugs and grasses they collect for themselves. I have never seen a chicken in my life with their beak docked like that. What are people thinking?

[hwoods01]

this is the same 'feeling' that Jesus felt toward sinners. You shall see the face of God, and I can only be as lucky as you.. God Bless

[javakogan]

Thank you for saving him!

[GuitarDanJams]

OMG! Thank you for saving this poor bird! Good karma you got going!!

[roundbaby1]

the rooster probably just got in a fight with brother or grandpa put him in his place. fangs and claws in the wild is natural and barbaric sure enough. going to shoot a dog?? THATS ILLEGLE ISN'T IT. CAN'T BE JUDGE OF ANY ANIMALS FATE--REMEMBER THATS THE CITY'S LIBERAL WAYS. TED NUGENT SAYS IT BEST--I LIKE FAST FOOD A DUCK NEAR MY BLIND OR GOOSE ON THE LOOSE. I SAY 'KILL IT AND GRILL IT'--THATS THE SIMPLEST WAY TO NOT CRY ABOUT IT

[rastagirl007]

All animals deserve our respect...inlcuding a dog that bites! Very disturbing that you thought it was okay to shoot a dog! Deal with the owner..the dog is a victim of poor training, being allowed to run loose, etc. but, you did a very angelic thing in saving the rooster. thank you.

[GothicBananaNinja]

"I Went To Go Shoot A Dog In The Head Because Its Never Been Taught Otherwise.......But I found A Chicken...so not it lives and the dog lives another day HAZZAH"

Thank you for not shooting and abusing that poor dog. should probly catch it and bring it to decipline classes..its a much better alternitive than shooting the damnd thing

[GothicBananaNinja]

@GothicBananaNinja Some animal lover

[1toscany]

Kaisa,

A wonderful, warm story...Thanks for sharing it!

[JENMAYS]

Could we have a progress report?

Pretty please

[hazeb2195]

poor thing thank god you looking after him good on you mate

[Kasia5872]

@hazeb2195 He died healthy and happy in March of this year. He died in a warm cozy bed with his best friend, Pippi, at his side. He had a really good life with us. We spoiled him rotten and he knew he was loved.

[tommyvizzle]

You spared the vicious dog of a bullet for the chicken, bless you ;)

[ChickenWings103]

Bless him... at least now he someone to trust =] great job rescuing him!

[Kasia5872]

@ChickenWings103 He died in March of this year, but he lived a wonderful year and a half with us thanks to the care our vet gae him.

[sonylover27]

@Kasia5872 poor little guy, he's in a better place now ~:>

[ResiennaD]

A chicken escapee. Poor guy, looks like he really needs a bath and a warm bed.

[shynio]

Recently my husband and I found a crow that had been clipped by traffic. We could not believe that nobody else stopped.

The wildlife shelter we took it to said it had a good chance of surviving. Getting him off the highway and holding him on my lap stays with me to this day.

I have so much respect for people like you who see the value in our dear birds and take the time and resources to heal them. As someone who doesn't have the circumstances personally (illness) I thank you!

[badagagurl]

be careful what u feed him, i kno that sum dog/cat food may have chicken in it..dont know if that would be a good thing to feed to another chicken

[Kasia5872]

We feed him chicken scratch, some cat food, other chicken pellets and some seeds. He has been with us a year and 4 months now. It's OK to feed them dog or cat food as treats, they love it.

[tawneeebbymommy]

i also rescue birds

i have a new case now

a african grey who was kept in a box for two months and fed dogfood

he is doing well now and tyurned out to be a very big sweetheart

[simdough]

He is lucky to ahve you. He now knows humans can be loving. I'm sorry he is so sick but you have made his life good . He may have died without ever knowing kindeness.

Bless You

[bomberjads]

I'm wondering if it would be possible to make a prosthetic beak for rescued victims of factory farming?

[33deman]

I can't stand de-beaking! I watched a video where chicks were being debeaked, looked PAINFUL! He looked like a black chicken before... after his bath, he turned out to be a lovely Rhode Island Red! Who would have thought? What a beautiful boy, and I bet he's glad to have been rescued. We need more folks like you in the world!

[Thomas55Pham]

Poor Rooster. im glad you saved it.

[Kasia5872]

So am I.  We have so many that we saved. They are all worth it.

[FlowingDepths]

And by the way, I love your music choice.

[Kasia5872]

Thank you.

[FlowingDepths]

Poor thing. I am glad that you gave him a home and are now taking care of him.

[Kasia5872]

He has been with us almost a year now. But he is VERY sick because of being debeaked, he can't eat on his own, he has constant ear infections, and we recently found out he has severe degenerative bonr disease and he also has an egg sized tumor on his lung. Yesterday he had a bad seizure, so he doesn't have much time left.

[gavindaman02]

How old is he?

[Kasia5872]

He could be as young as just over a year, or as old as six. He was in such bad shape, there is no way to tell. But we still have him, and have had him now for 9 wonderful months! Please see his more recent video to see how wonderful he looks.

[gavindaman02]

He is very lucky :)

[HeyMedic]

I do not believe that this is a commercially raised meat bird. He is the wrong shape, size, comb type and color for one. He is at least a year old and commercially raised meat birds are slaughtered after only a few weeks. I do not see anything that would lead me believe that he had been tortured by humans, either. More likely he had a really rough few weeks wandering loose before you rescued him.

[Kasia5872]

Would you like me to email you his X-Rays, he has a broken neck, both legs, toes, wings. He was SEVERELY abused. I never said he was commercially raised, but whoever had him neglected and abused him. We have over $2000 vet bill for him to prove it.

[kelinax]

atleast you saved that rooster. I have loads of animals... One of my roosters kept on fighting with the smaller roosters. Blood was everywhere. Now,everytime I go out back. I yell when I see fighting.. They all stop. Now the roosters are trying to mate with the hens. Hah. Since they are young,They have no clue on what to mate,so instead of doing the mate dance to the hens,they do it to my duck! XD Ahah. I hurry and pick up the chicken,so they don't mate my duck,Even though,Its impossible.

[Kasia5872]

We changed his name to Quasimoto, or Que for short, since he has a hunchback and walks with a limp. He is doing wonderful, but has recurring ear infections, when drinking, bubbles come out of his eye, he still has trouble eating and breathing. He will need veterinary care for the rest of his life, and medication as well, but he is happy. He too tries to mate my ducks, as does one of our other roosters. The hens fight more than the roosters do, Neelix and Que sleep together on the bed.

[kelinax]

aw. Well, I'm glad he got better, I just wish he didn't have so much infections. I feel so so bad for him. Poor little guy. I'm glad you saved it before it died. Well, My duck has been doing pretty good. the roosters attacked my duck two weeks ago. my ducks head feathers were off, but it grew again,once we put the duck separate from the roosters.

[veronica13288]

mommy that doesn't looklike Que!!

[Kasia5872]

I know, he looks like a totally different rooster, doesn't he?

[Samqdf]

good to hear your new rooster is doing well and good on you for doing so.

What did you end up doing with that dog situation?

[Kasia5872]

The rooster got renamed Quasimoto, or Que for short. He is doubled in weight and size and is healthy. I will post an update video soon. The dog is still roaming the streets. Animal Control have been here many times, and the cops too, but the owner is a cop so nothing got done.

[Samqdf]

that sucks, well I am happy that things worked out for the rooster anyhow

[Kasia5872]

We called the humane society several times, but each time they came, the dog is nowhere to be found. We also called police, and nothing was done. The humane society told the owners to keep the dog in their yard or on a leash, but they just don't listen. The dog has been in our yard and has attacked other kids as well as my son a couple of times. Nothing is being done because they owner is a cop. I'm constantly afraid he will come into my yard and try to hurt my ducks and chickens.

[lynz45]

Oh my gosh, god bless you for rescuing him. I cried through the video just looking at what abuse he must of gone through. As a bird and animal lover myself, it sickens me what humans do to God's creatures.

Thank you for saving his life.

I hope we can see new posts of him soon.

[Kasia5872]

I am happy to report, he is doing wonderful. But I just posted a video in memory of a little hen I lost a few days ago. She was so sick, I just adopted her and she was so sick, she needed surgery and sadly she died. Look for the video titled A MEMORIAL TO SUNNY...

[Kiriko49]

My first shamo(Japanese fighting fowl)was a male that had won the fight but lost his whole upper beak.Thank God they gave him to me.He used his beak like a spoon,he needed a very deep cup to eat properly.Power to the birds!!!

[Kasia5872]

Poor thing. Some of them can't eat at all and end up starving to death.

[SLaDdIct]

he reminds me of the rooster named rocky in the movie chicken run. he must be very happy living with you. hope for the best of his life

[Kasia5872]

He is doing wonderful. Grew all new feathers, he eats a lot and is no longer weak.

[verticalsmurf]

Will his beak grow back? Will he get along with your other rooster? Will he be ok???

[Kasia5872]

No, his beak will never grow back, but my vet evened out the bottom part so he can eat better. He has doubled in weight and his comb has trippled in size. He is doing excellent, no more lice, his ear infection is gone, but he has arthritis, so he has a playpen he stays in. No, he doesn't get along with the other roosters, but he loves our hen. Will post updated videos soon.

[verticalsmurf]

Why do they clip their beaks? That's just wrong and crul.

[skinnysociety]

Actually its not painful for them, its just like cutting your fingernails. Its so they don't cannibalize each other in their cages. His beak won't grow back.

I hope he is doing much better now =)

[verticalsmurf]

It's not painful for them I know, It's just like us clipping our nails. But if the birds were given enough food and room to roam and scratch, they wouldn't want to peck each other, so they wouldn't have to have their beaks trimmed, which makes it hard for them to crack seed. Bit of a vicious circle if you ask me.

[skinnysociety]

Well, sadly it's all about the money, and they just don't want to spend money to buy more land so that the chickens will have space.

[verticalsmurf]

Screw them. In Australia the momentum for free-range eggs is rapidly increasing purely because people are willing to pay the extra knowing that the eggs they are consuming are coming from happier birds. So long as consumer knowledge grows, we will continue towards more humane growing methods and no animal will need to be 'altered'. Humans will always eat meet, but our methods will improve, taking into consideration the lives that we consume

[verticalsmurf]

Cheers, thanks for loving this bird. But I am sure he will show his appreciation more than I ever can.

[Kasia5872]

Look up battery hens here on you tube. I no longer buy eggs at the store, I only buy organic, free range eggs ever since I saw those videos.

[Kasia5872]

Actually it is EXTREMELY PAINFUL AND BARBARIC. Why don't you look at a video of them debeaking baby chicks with a hot sharp iron? Decide for yourself. If you only clip the tip, then no, it's not painful, as I trim my chickens beaks all the time, but in large chicken farms, they cut the top part off too far so it cannot grow back, the chick babies scream and some die from shock. So don't let anyone tell you it's not painful.

[fallenembers1214]

I heard if they cut off a lot of a chicken's beak they also cut off part of the bird's tongue. This stuff gives me shivers!

[julzk]

Thank God you were outside just at the right time! After all the suffering he's experienced, I'm so glad he found you and your family. Please let us all know how everything goes on Saturday.

[theamari98]

oh sorry to comment late and the other comment(also my comment) that says "how wonderful" was a quick comment. I was late and I'm afraid my professor will get mad at me so I made that comment for very early in the morning! You're right. It brought tears on my eyes. I am so easy to cry lol! It's just so sweet and wonderful. Tnx for rescuing him. What's his name?

[TheTwilight]

the dog was abused too..

[Kasia5872]

What dog???

[theamari98]

how wonderful

[velvethandofdarkness]

glad he found a good home with people to care for him and give him love

[Kasia5872]

He's still very weak and have more problems than we first thought. But with veterinary care he will be fine I'm sure. He has an appointment Saturday.

[sapphiresanchez]

it's so nice of you to rescue this rooster, thank god he's in safe and doing well as I see in the video, he's looking good! his story make me cry a bit..

[SilkenWinds]

Your video takes a painfully long time to load, so I wasn't able to watch the whole thing. But he is a cute rooster from what I did see, good job saving him and for being so kind to animals.

[Kasia5872]

He is a beauty. We are going to keep him. He is trying to fit in and slept with us on the bed after his 3rd bath, right in my arms he did.

[Omerov1986]

praise your for taking him in what a beaut,
