Here’s The Open Sanctuary Project’s “So You Want To Rescue A Rooster” text summary:
Panel 1: “So, You Want To Rescue A Rooster? Learn more about what a rooster needs from you in order to live a long, happy & healthy life with this short guide from The Open Sanctuary Project!”
Panel 2: “Did You Know That Roosters Suffer From Significant Stigma? YOU Can Help Them By Combatting Rooster Myths With Rooster Facts! Roosters (male chickens) are complex individuals. They are not unintelligent, as they are often considered. They are innovative, sensitive, and often caring beings who are not “louder” than many noises humans commonly accept! While often labeled “aggressive,” roosters are prey animals who react to threats to their families and loved ones in self-defense, not aggression.”
Panel 3: “Welcoming A Rooster (Or A Rooster Flock) To Your Home Or Sanctuary! Living with and sharing the stories of your rooster friends is one of the best ways that you can help change public perception about them! Things you may need to learn about to prepare yourself for life with a rooster include:
- Learning about general chicken care and health challenges
- Learning about the social lives of chickens and the role roos play in a flock
- Learning how chickens can live safely and comfortably as indoor companions
- Learning how roosters can exist very happily in rooster-only flocks
It’s very important to learn as much as you can about roosters and compassionate care BEFORE bringing them into your daily life! Chickens can live into their teens and require veterinary care from a vet who is experienced in the care of birds.”
Panel 4: “Roos Are Chickens Too! While roosters are often mistakenly considered distinct from chickens by the general public, they are still chickens! Unfortunately, due to the ways that most humans exploit chickens, the most widely available care advice and information may focus solely on “laying hens.” Therefore, we suggest you maintain a good relationship with a knowledgable veterinarian who can help guide you on rooster-appropriate diets and care!”
