Timmy

This is Timmy, he is a Leghorn rooster. He was living on his own in a neighborhood in Bloomington. Neighbors kept putting out water and food for him but were worried he would be attacked by a predator. We were contacted by someone who was able to catch him, so we agreed to take him. Timmy is our first rooster ever.

There are so many homeless roosters due to the fact of the popularity of backyard chickens. There is no guarantee when people buy chicks that they are all female. When someone ends up with roosters, they try to get rid of them due to the fact that they don’t lay eggs and that most city ordinances don’t allow roosters due to their crowing. Timmy is slowly but surely warming up to us.  He loves Hank and wants to be with him constantly. His favorite snacks are watermelon, cucumbers, blueberries and tomatoes.
