Tom Petty was our 22nd rescue. He was rescued from a religious sacrifice (Kaporos). Donor BeckyMundie requested we name him, Mark named him Tom Petty because these guys came home the day he died. Tom Petty passed away on 1-27-18, necropsy showed liver issues.

Cain was our 3rd rescue. He was hatched in a kindergarten classroom with his brothers Koda and Nacho, then given away to a backyard chicken farmer. Once he started crowing, he was no longer wanted because roosters were prohibited. Cain passed away in January 2018, necropsy confirmed Marek's Disease.

Foghorn was our 30th rescue. Found wandering on the street in Minnesota, he was brought to an animal lover who is not zoned for roosters so he found us. He passed away in June 2019, necropsy results confirmed Mareks Disease.

Hal Jordan was our 8th rescue. He came to us after escaping a religious sacrifice in MN. He passed away tragically after another rooster got into his run. We miss him dearly, he was a gentle soul.

Boris

Boris was our 34th rescue. He came to us at 3 months old at 16 pounds from a woman who bought him as a chick because she didn't want him to be slaughtered. He was bred to be huge and suffered because of it. Necropsy results pending.
