The story about the Rooster is FANTASTIC! Most people don’t realize how much hens and roosters make terrific pets !!
Here in France, the Rooster is our National Animal 🟦⬜🟥🇫🇷🐓⚜️🥖🥐🍞🍰🧀🍷🍲🍾🍷
Symbolizes Bold, Brave and Courageous. Above all, he's really loyal as much as dog He would do anything to protect his territory and the henhouse.
Eventually, he's a incredible fighter and fearless.
He could stand against an Eagle and he
would pick on someone bigger than his size.
However, they can tend to be gentle and loving. They
They could be amazing pet if you show affection and care him so much.
Make sure you don't taunt him, he doesn't like it. He would chase you all day. He's always a team player
I know we had some pet chickens and they were affectionate and entertaining. They would jump up on my knee when I was sitting out in yard. So cute. They would mind me as when I told them it was time to go back in pen for safety at nite; they would go into pen.
Are they house trainable? I've wondered that. 🤔 💜
I think birds don't have a bladder and that's why the excret them when flying, but maybe you can train them to go to a litter box when they feel it coming.
They also taste terrific! 🍗🍽️
A farmer dropped off a Turkey vulture at my house and my son came carrying him in in a literal sandwich box 😂. He was a baby chick. I’ve raised and released baby birds that fell from the nest before, so I was like “why not?” So that’s what I did. Little did I know that he would be HUGE (think six foot wing span), but a total cuddle baby who just wanted love and pets. A VULTURE of all things 😂. He was a big mama’s boy though. I released him into a nature preserve 45 minutes from me, took him with his cage covered so he couldn’t see anything. A week later I heard a clatter out on my roof and was like oh boy! He’s back. Yep, brought some wild ones with him too who hung back waiting on him. He reeked of dead fish and river water, so yuck 😂. But that just meant that he figured it out for himself with a little help from his new friends. He migrated away with them in the late fall, but up until then he’d stop by for some mama attention. He returned in the spring a bit more wild and standoffish, but he had to see that home was still there apparently. So I know that he made it ok on his own.
Do you have an Instagram?
Little did you know, birds have a kind of lodestone in their brains: that’s how they fly south for the winter and show up at the same spot every year. I had 2 parakeets and two homes, the latter 114 miles apart. I didn’t usually make the drive, leaving that to my spouse, but one year was compelled to take the car, with my budgies in a travel cage, and, no navigator myself, passed my exit. As soon as I did, the birds started complaining in unison. Where they were stowed, they couldn’t see anything but sky.
@@stillhere1425 Wow! That's an amazing ability that the birds have!
I currently live in a big city, but I wish I could someday live in a rural area and be closer to wildlife. 😊
Wonderful ☺️ 2:52 story Macy!!!
I LOVE the fact she brings him everywhere. A rooster in a booster seat is too funny!

@@pinchebruha405 Thank you. Truly appreciate it. Don't get any ideas about coq 😆

The shoes
Most folks DREAD the sound of their alarm clock in the morning. But waking to the crowing of Barth and seeing his face next to you should start each day with a smile!
not for me... sorry, but it takes me forever to wake up.... the face would make me smile but not the crowing....
My Rooster 🇫🇷🐓 is crowing damn loud in the morning.
@Error Not to worry. He's not always annoying. Cuz I keep throwing my slippers to him to shut him up 😆
I'm old and have kept chickens my entire life. A friend of mine came to visit and asked "how do you SLEEP??" I asked what she meant and she said the roosters crowing first thing woke her up, lol! I don't even hear them any more.
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 slippers ?
I love his slippers! 🐰 As soon as I saw he had lost his feet, my stomach dropped. Poor, beautiful guy. He's so happy despite his difference though! He's got such a huge life. Amazing story! 😍🐔
ya' gotta have something cozy to slip into after working around the _cluck!_

I love the Dodo channel but I don't click into every upload. It was the bunny slippers that got me.
@@MsThebeMoon ha me too! I love bunnies. 🐰☺️
I've never seen anything like that. That is one happy bird. And look at the life he is living! He's the best loved bird in the whole world. Thank you for helping the sweet little chicken. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lovely comment 😊
Yes lovely rooster 🐓🐔😘😘🌹🌹😃😃
For a 6-piece, he is coming along nicely
I rescued a pigeon back in 2001. He changed my entire life; we adored each other. I took him everywhere with me. He died in 2006. I'm still not over it. I never will be. I put people like her on my prayer list, asking God to give them and their animals many happy, joyous years together. Please don't let them suffer the grief I have, Lord.
Remain STRONG and know you're going to help another rescue 🤍
Another note you will see your pigeon again in heaven as I will with hundreds of my babies I have loved for 40 years...I'm single and if it weren't for my animals I would have been without love all my life as I never learned to bond with people because of a loveless and terrible childhood which I never got over..so bless you to heaven and your pigeon someday
@@fredholtzinger3761 I feel your pain. My childhood was very lonely and traumatic too. To this day I still have no one to love me unconditionally. I'm ready to go home. This place sux. People are the worst.
@@bobbisue313 please don't do that because that's exactly how I feel right now...maybe we need that life line right now to talk I as well have no one but my beloved pigeons...I am willing to exchange email or phone for text...reply here again I'll look for your note...I know it sucks...but know there is someone who feels that way as well..hope to hear from you if you feel hopeless
Grief is just love with no where to go....The word I must share with you is to pray that you will find somewhere for the love and longing to go. I learned that when one of our dearest passes on, they will help direct another one to you. I have experienced this myself. Before I knew Jesus Christ, I thought it was reincarnation...Then I was corrected by the Holy Spirit. You see, God loves animals. He created them first. They surround Him in Heaven, saying Holy, Holy, Holy throughout all of eternity ❤️🤗🙏😇
He's so adorable. Every pet I've ever had has been an amazing little person.
Animals can't speak our language, but they are absolutely smart, emotional, and very sophisticated creatures. We can learn to communicate very well with our animal friends and form very deep bonds.
I feel sorry for people who've never experienced such a friendship. It would be better for humans and animals alike if everyone appreciated just how intelligent, feeling, and amazing they are.
Still mystery that we will never solve

NATURAL PERSON Definition & Legal Meaning

@@heyitsalanhere Oh jeez, come on. Why do you care that they think of animals as people?
@@OverdramaticAngel
I'm just showing a dictionary definition 🤔
The way folk's identify these days is crazy enough but to then do it with other species...takes it to another level. A dog is a dog...a cat is a cat etc ! A person is a legal term which puts a human into the corporate system.
Very well said Element Zero👏 ❤
My wife and I have had rescue/disabled chickens for years. They can be a little more work but they have been the shining stars in our life! They are awesome!
Disabled chickens. That's a first. Lol
Don´t they poop all over the place when inside? One of my neighours also had pet chickens, but they lived outside. My kids adored them and whenever they came home from school, they´d run over to play with the chickens as soon as they could. One was called Brownie and he LOVED to cuddle on my daughter´s lap. Adorable!
Absolutely. I also had a rooster that was so smart and was very territorial of our garden and the house. He was also very huge, genetically engineered to have a huge breast for breast meat so unlike the other hens, he was not able to fly very high due to his huge breast and the weight it brought. I would pick him up and hold him even as an adult when he would weigh so much and he would love for me to pet his neck and he would nestle into me and close his eyes in pleasure. He loved me fiercely and protected me from all perceived and real danger. Most importantly, he taught me that there’s no difference from the animals we eat and the animals we love except for the relationship that we have with them. All animals love. Love you and miss you Tweety.
I'm writing that down "There's no difference from the animals we eat and the animals we love except for the relationship we have with them." I'm still an omnivore. And I eat chicken the most. I want to stop. When I see the Tyson Chicken trucks in my area taking the live birds who were fattened up in a horrible existence, I want to cry. The other side of the coin is that Tyson donates masses amount of frozen birds to the Big Cat animal sanctuary in the area. A lion can't be a vegetarian and survive.
@@MsThebeMoon Some people eat eggs, dairy and fish to get quality protein without the same ethical concerns, although some fish are nice pets also.
@@user-kl8lo6rj5i
It actually surprises me that people don't view fish as having intelligence.
My eyes are watery. Lovely rooster. Lovely mom.
Oh this was heartwarming!! Thank you for giving him such wonderful experiences!! ❤
Barth is such a sweet bird! 😄 Thank goodness he recovered from his frostbite! 😌
Barth’s a cute, little fella. He’s got a lot of personality, plus he’s affectionate; I never thought I’d see a chicken get that affectionate.

They can be amazing pet if you truly show affection.

Yes I have 1 rooster and 3 hens. Buffy the hen always runs to me and jumps to sit next to me for hugs. She pecks me if I don't hug her🤣
@@ld3511 I had an Amaricauna hen I called Mocha who’d always run to me to get a hug.
It never ceases to amaze me just how many species of animal can form a bond with a human being that rivals that of your closest friends.
Agree!! It's fascinating and heartwarming!!
Except this one is food
@@rianamohamed300 No, arbitrary.
This reminds me so much of my rooster Chickie! He is an absolute character and we hatched him from an egg we got from a farmer who was selling them cheap. He turned out to be a Blue Mottled Cochin/Pekin which are apparently quite sought after as show chickens! Chickie loves being included in everything - as a chick, he loved walking along the windowsill staring out at the birds outside but he can't do that anymore because he's too big! Since he was missing it, we bought him his own special pet buggy! Now we can walk around with him in his buggy! Whenever he sees people, he always wants them to say hello or pet him - as such, any time a person walks past he starts going "buck buck buck buck buck" which is his version of GIVE ME ATTENTION lol. Thus far nobody has said hello to him which I'm sure makes him a little sad. However, he LOVES buggy time because he has his own blanket and 2 cushions in it and he gets wrapped up nice and warm. He loves rubbing his comb against the blanket because its nice and soft :) His favourite aside from buggy time is when he is allowed to sleep in the bed with me. It's not a common occurrence because I'm scared of rolling onto him or something but I enjoy laying with him on my chest, watching him go to sleep. To go to sleep, he likes resting his beak on my lip. He struggles to get to sleep if I don't let him rest his beak right on my lip! He likes to try and put his beak IN my mouth but, funnily enough, that isn't the most comfortable for me... Chickens have MASSIVE personalities and some are arguably more loving of people than some cats/dogs are! People are always surprised when they visit because Chickie will sprint over to them and run around them, waiting for them to say hello to him. So many people are scared of him because they're worried he's "one of those vicious roosters" lol!!!
Grateful to read Your Rooster's Character antics 🤍
What a heartwarming story! 💖
I love you story and i would like to ask you how do you train them so that they won't do their necessities on the bed..? I am a little bit intrigued. Thank you. have a blessed day..
@@juanitavasquez219 A lot of the time when he is laying on my chest, I just put down like a puppy pad across my chest. If I don't have a puppy pad handy, I just put down a towel!
Where are you? I would want to say hello in a minute! What a wonderful story and a very special relationship. ❤️
Definitely living his best life
Awh 😂😂😂 he’s adorable I bet he’s a good cuddle buddy
I started the day by reading your wonderful story! I'm glad to know that Barth has found such a lovely owner, who treats him like family. People don't realise that chickens and roosters make great pets. They're far more intelligent and affectionate than ppl give them credit for. Barth has the sweetest little face and his eyes convey his emotions. All animals are sentient beings and understand more than we'll never know. I was in hospital three yrs ago and a lady came to visit with two Chinese Silky Chickens. She named them April and Chrissy. She rescued both in April and at Christmas, so named them accordingly. Anyway they kept making buck buck sounds when I met her. She said to pat them, as they were asking me for pats. I'll never forget that experience, they were little feathered angels.🐔💖
to the one whose facing thru their tough times don't lose hope keep going, you are doing fine! no matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. be proud of yourself you got this. ☺️
💪🏻
Thank You 👍👍👍
Same to You

I needed those words right now. Thank you, stranger on the internet! I love you. May your journey in life always be filled with blessings 🌟🌈🌞♥
Your kindness is beautiful💫 Thank you~
Thank you! What a dear person you are! May all the encouragement, hope, and love you put forth to others always be with you and in your heart and mind!💕💖💕
Wonderful lady with a heart of gold and a beautiful little feathered friend who clearly loves his Mama. Thank you 🙏🏼
You have an AWESOME LOVING HEART… my family believes like you do … all creatures have have a “ heart” & like us… just WANNA BE LOVED … God bless you ❤️
Your respect for life moves me. How I wish all people had a heart like yours. I,too, believe that they have every right to be loved. Thank you, you've just lightened up my day.
My chickens teach me a lot just by making me watch them. Roosters have a really graphic or descriptive communication, because their hens need to understand them. They have a lot of tasks as they are their hens' lovers, guards, playmates and food suppliers. Barth has found the love of his life there! Well done Barth👍Well done Jennifer! Thanks for sharing your story with us! Lots of love to you both!
Chickens are incredible animals. They have distinct personalities, are extraordinarily clever and they can form close bonds with individuals from many other species.
Barth is awesome! So glad he made that connection..
Que niña más cariñosa con su hermoso gallito ❤️❤️❤️❤️
☝That looks like a scam to me, don't respond to them!☝
They would feel like a human would. Every living thing loves security and love . Thankyou this was amazing to see the kindness one often doesn't see between an animal and human .
I’m so glad he was able get such a nice home! A lot of chickens actually love being in the house, and they make such great pets!
They also make great 🍗🍽️
How do you dealing with their pooping?
@@sidilicious11 Mine sleep in a retriever sized dog crate with newspaper down for easy cleanup, and if you let them walk around you would need to clean it up, but it’s not too bad
@@chickengirl3025 that’s so cool. I sure loved our 5 chickens. They were surprisingly personable and loving. I wouldn’t get chickens again though because they were so vulnerable to stray dogs, raccoons, and coyotes when they were outside during the day. At night they were safe in their “chicken palace” coop. And I wouldnt want to keep them locked up in a run during the day, they loved wandering around the yard all day.
@@sidilicious11 Chicken diapers.... they actually sell them online 😅 I saw Barth wearing one.
Someone asked me to take care of their rooster while they went on vacation and never came back. I lived with Rico for a year and then brought him to a beautiful bird sanctuary in Maine. He went berserk with joy at all his new girlfriends. Just wanted to comment on how smart he was, how lonely he got when I worked and I saw his depression in his eyes. He was really a remarkable pet when I had him, but I knew he needed more. He got it, in spades. I called several months later to see how he was. They said he was such a personality, so proud, so happy, so busy. I cried with joy. No one can know their qualities of a rooster until you live with one. By the way, I loved this story and the music to this video is, as usual, hilarious and perfect, Dodo. And that woman is fantastic to give him the life he deserved.
That Rooster's upgrade 🤍
We have a neighbor about 3 houses down that have chickens. This past November their coop caught fire and all the hens were lost. Apparently, they kept the rooster separate from the hens and I heard him crow one morning about a week after the fire. The sound in his crow was so sad as if he was asking where are all of my girls. It broke my heart to hear it. I would hear him every morning before the fire crowing so loud and proud and I could tell the difference right away. He now has a new flock to take care of and is back to his happy daily crowing.
Barth's story put a big smile on my face, he's such a happy, lovely rooster!
If people stopped seeing these creatures as food and realized how smart &funny they actually are they'd probably (hopefully) change their minds.
Thank you for giving Barth such a great life ❤❤
Such an awesome and beautiful story!! Thank you for Sharing and Caring!!
Growing up on a chicken farm harbored some of my fondest and most traumatic memories as a three year old. The chickens were literally my best friends who sincerely felt like family. I remember climbing into our chicken coop, sitting cross-legged quietly, while those chickens would slowly come and curl up on my lap. People still think I'm crazy but I fondly remember them cooing or purring as we snuggled and napped together!
I also deeply remember the all too detailed horrific butchering which took place on that farm in MN.. Mom would try to shelter me from witnessing such event but as a curious kid, I'd slip away and peek behind the shed, just at the worst time! Crying frantically I'd run to my mother's side, screaming, "Dad's chopping my friends in the face!!!" Only to be scolded,, "Well, don't watch!"
Experiencing that trauma doesn't take away from my heartfelt Bond I shared with those Loyal friends...
I am proud to say, how even now at 48 yrs old, I still carry the gift of impersonating a chicken! Literally. Anytime I have an opportunity to visit some feathered friends, I strike up a conversation in our personal language. And we connect a Level few would understand. It's definitely a unique characteristic and interesting talent to cluck about... Even the chickens think so!! 🐔
Oh, Amy, I can't begin to imagine what a horror that was. When I started learning about becoming vegetarian (then vegan) I was surprised that the first item to stop was chicken. Makes total sense now. I appreciate your story. Thank you.
Barth deserves all the love you're giving him. You make me have hope for humanity. Every life saved counts. 🥰✌🏻🖖🏻
🐣🐥🐔"Somewhere over the rainbow" came true for this dear Rooster!! What a loving pal his adopted Mama is!! Forever Friends!💖💖💖💖💖
This is one of the cutest stories ever. I love how much you love each other. Just precious. 🥰♥️
I just love this story, thanks for sharing the smiles and cuddles with us!!! 💕
Oh how much I miss having chooks. I lived on a farm as a teenager and had more than 40 hens at any time as well as between 5 and 10 roosters and a peacock. The sound of roosters checking on one another in the morning (they would take turns like at roll-call) was my alarm clock. Our peacock was the security guard.
I always had baby chicks to look after, we kept them in the hot water cupboard of our mudroom/laundry until they were big enough to join the hen house. One day I will have some free range hens again.
My step mum used to have a pet rooster many years ago. Chooky (the rooster) had his own bedroom and was a very much loved member of our family. He was the only survivor of a nasty fox attack on our chooks shed/yard and grew up in the house. When it was time for him to transition to the new and improved chookshed with a new batch of hens he missed his human family and was very upset. So mum relented and he became her companion, "helping" her with all the chores and letting her know if anything happened outside or if visitors came.
Fascinating love between Rooster & Family's concern after 🦊 attack
This is wonderful, you are so kind that lovely rooster is now enjoying the life he deserves, thank you.
That's awesome and truly a one of a kind rooster. He's lucky to have been rescued and given the love and attention he deserves ❤️
Oh good heavens I could never handle that
🇧🇷 Believe me: LOVE can change the lives of ANY living being on this planet. From a little bee, plant, to the biggest whales in the oceans.🇧🇷❤
Kindness is magic.
The biggest human sin is in not recognizing and appreciating the intelligence and deserving life in all things!
Living the good life, buddy! Enjoy being unconditionally loved ❤
Какой милый и ласковый петушок!❤️🌻
Well that was stinkin adorable ❤️
In memory of my Mom. She adore these precious creatures.. she had a chicken coop costume made for them we had them in the patio. .. also hens. Of course these creatures will love us unconditionally too
Thank you, thank you for having him in your heart and not on your plate!

Hello Beautiful, How is your day going? Are you a pet lover ☺
omg the bunny slippers. too cute 😊
Well, thanks a lot for this. I thought I was going to see something funny. But nooooooo. Had to sit here and cry, laugh, and feel so grateful knowing someone can see such beauty in what is usually seen as a farm animal, often being a nuisance. And with severe deformed legs. I couldn't figure out who was receiving more love, Barth or his human companion. Beautiful video.
I’m madly in love, made my smile first thing this morning!!!
Oh hell no! That crowing craziness in the morning would never fly with me. Bless that woman's heart.
What a beautiful bird! 😍 I used to have a rooster who liked cuddles, and he wasn’t nearly as well behaved but I loved him anyway 😂
I had three pet roosters…named after the Three Tenors. They’re quite awesome and entertaining. Smarter than they’re given credit for.
What a great story and companion.
What a terrific human being! I've rescued animals since I was a toddler, literally. Lots of stray or wild animals in India - no vet facility, no shelters out there, I was it. I had stray dogs, 22 stray cats that rotated, literally thousands saved during my younger days. Still doing it. I had to educate myself on boa constrictors, mongooses, dogs, cats, pigeons, eagles, seagulls, sparrows, foxes, and more. Animals are so grateful for any help you give them. Unlike humans. Its a calling. I value and respect animals far more than human beings. In return, I've had almost magical bonds with them, both wild and domestic animals. No need for words. Everything was conveyed by eyes and actions.
A White German Shepherd, I called Rex, who had severe separation anxiety was my shadow. He was naturally protective as he gained self confidence and was exercised hard daily. He 'saved' me from two toy gun incidents with kids, barking at them so they ran away, and no doubt would have saved my life if those guns had been real with a man behind them. No one trained him, just instinct. Super fast, alert, always on guard, and loyal like sticky tape.
A black cat who I thought was a fat, pregnant female so I called her Lucy. 'She' slunk into my house to eat some cat food. My house already had a cat, and Rex the GSD, but she came anyway, very shyly. I let her eat. At the vet I discovered this was a male, malnourished and overweight, so put him on a natural home made diet with real meat, supplements, veggies, eggs, etc. Also let him outside to exercise. In a few months the weight was off, the muscles back, fur was glossy and cat was super healthy. Lucy became Lucifer or Luci. He loved the thick pile carpet which felt luxurious to him. One night, he mustered up enough courage to jump on my lap as he badly wanted some affection. As I petted him, and he felt I would not hurt him, his eyes locked into mine and the black pupils became larger and larger like he was burrowing into my soul. He was beaming up buckets of love. I've had many cats but never seen anything like this. I was stunned. I could feel the energy from this cat - it was pure love, gratitude, and loyalty. He was telling me, I love you and thank you for taking me in, I will be loyal to the end of time. I've been married, had kids, had boyfriends, had a great first love in college, but this cat gave me such unconditional love and so much of it, I was overwhelmed and very moved. I soaked it in, as much as he did. It was an intense spiritual moment, one in a lifetime. Luci just beamed up love laying there with his big black green eyes locked into mine. Pure trust. I was very honored. After that, we were so bonded, I took Luci everywhere. He was one great cat! Got along with my dogs too, even though he was scared at first.
Ditto for my boa constrictor rescue from a school. Wonderful, sweet snake, so gentle and happy. Loved his park outings and tree climbing. We'd watch TV together, cat, dog, snake. Give me an animal any day over a human companion.
Thank you for rescuing him. Roosters make such wonderful pets.
Aww, he's so cute! And he likes The Nightmare Before Christmas too. It's my favorite movie.
I wish everyone knew how great chickens and roosters are. I just love all birds but could watch chickens peck and scratch all day. Every living thing has personality. Even bugs, birds and cows.
Bless you for saving this wonderful little Roo...
God bless you for taking in this precious boy. He looks so happy. You can tell he's something special, and that he loves and is loved. For a lot of people he would have just been dinner. I had a pet Rhode Island Red rooster when I was a kid. He followed me everywhere. He lived to 13, and I cried for days when he passed (I was 19).
Hello Beautiful, How is your day going? Are you a pet lover ☺
What a cutie❤❤❤
He seems like a real sweetie!😻❤️
Unusual name ha ha
I love when people share stories about the impact an avian (bird) species has made in their life! Many people still underestimate the love and joy a feather creature can bring! Birds are very smart and loving animals that people need to experience more and treat them and appreciate them the same as they do for other pet animals like cats or dogs!! It will literally change your life!!
My uncle rescued a dozen hens from an awful battery farm that was closing down. They were in pretty bad shape and had their beaks clipped. He nursed them back to full health and made it easier for them to find and pick up worms and insects from the dirt he had arranged them in for their convenience. He had to teach them how to scratch for their grubs and bugs.. They also loved the delicious smelling meal and chicken feed he mixed up to add to their cuisine. Definitely no more boring pellets alone.
They lived free range in the farm house yard and slept in a coop at night safe from foxes. All would rush to the gate when they saw his car coming home along the boundary road and follow him from the car to the verandah for pats and cuddles and a bit of conversation (no food involved).
Interestingly, though they had spent all their early lives cramped in indoor cages with no normal social interaction, one hen became the organising and protective Boss Chook. Once she took it upon herself to race across to the house and flap and squawk in a flurry of urgency at the window to alert the family that a desperate old fox had come into the house yard, in broad daylight, looking for an easy chicken dinner. The other hens were flapping and squawking and fending it off down in the yard. She must've said ............... " You girls hold this scumbag off while I get the family! " All good.
Cuteness overload!! 😍 Mom is taking such good care of him ❤️ 💙 💜!
Cool rooster. Perhaps it could use a pair of prosthetic feet? Have a good long life Barth😉😁
I love the dodo comment section so much. There’s no vegan trolls, no arguments, and if there is a debate it’s a healthy one. It’s just people rooting for all animals no matter the species. The dodo is the one place where dogs and chickens get loved on equally. Gives me hope for humanity 🦤
Sweet. Thank you for rescuing him and giving him a good life.
Barth is so handsome and such a g'boy! Thank you for sharing him with us!
Truly, animals give more than they get .. the mere value of their presence (in our lives or in nature) cannot be undervalued .. or overstated . Much ❤ 🙏🏽 🇨🇦
Oh goodness, how adorable is he?!? And what a sweet lady! ❤❤❤
The power of love, really beautiful story!
We had to put our young rooster down in October. Herman was precious and super gentle. He was a Beilefelder breed. So sweet!
Who *wouldn't* want a pet dinosaur? 🐓🦖

This story is truly amazing! I have seen anyone with a pet rooster like Barth. That woman is fantastic for rescuing him and he looks so happy.
Precious. Sometimes we entertain angels unaware! Even lil roosters!!!! Luv yall bunches🐰🐓🐰
Like all farm animal's they're frequently neglected or discarded bc they're simply viewed as food. Chickens are very intelligent and your lil rooster is no exception. He's adorable!
I adore my chickens. They are my zen..
This is beautiful!!! I love Barth!!
Barth is absolutely gorgeous! I wish all chickens were loved so much. Thank you so much for loving him and taking such good care of him. 😍🐓

I love him so much the way he crows is so adorable he is so full of life God bless him!!!!
I am so happy he found his happy home. Chickens are not dumb at all. All of ours are very unique and have different personalities. We have a late molting chicken in our house bathroom right now. She is getting lots of treats and TLC.
He is red black and so handsome. I love this story so much I added it to my collection of Dodo films.
Barth appears to be a Bantam Barbezieux chicken. They are originally from France, and have been bred since the Middle ages. Apparently they are a dual-purpose variety, kept for their eggs and meat. They had almost disappeared after WW2, but interested breeders brought them back to prominence beginning in the late 1990's. A very handsome variety.
🧡🧡🧡 This is exactly why I don't eat poultry.
