Chicken dumping
Our take
In a cluck-tastically heartwarming yet challenging adventure, one brave soul—pregnant and battling the freezing cold—set out to rescue a dumped rooster after being tagged in a post about this unfortunate fowl. Amidst pricker bushes and a bleeding frostbitten comb, the hunt for this aggressive feathered friend unfolded. With a potential home on the horizon (despite a no-rooster rule), the rescuer is taking precautions to ensure this plucky guy's safety. Could he have been a victim of fowl play? Let’s hope for a happier ending!
| | Someone on my other app caught this A-hole just dumping this chicken. I ended up tagged in the post and at 7 and half months pregnant high risk for up at 8:30-9pm in the freezing cold 5 degree weather and hunted for the chicken. I found the chicken perched in a bunch of pricker bushes. I had to trudge through that cut myself up. It’s an aggressive rooster with frostbite comb that was bleeding. I have a potential person interested in him as we aren’t allowed roosters where we live. Have him isolating from the flock until I know it’s safe as well. I have a strong feeling he was used for fighting but I’m hoping I’m wrong. [link] [comments] |

- What's up with dumping chickens ?I've been on this sub for several months and I see recurrent posts about someone finding dumped chickens. What is this? Why would someone do it? I live in Ukrainian village and if you don't want a chicken for some reason, you either eat it or give it to your neighbours. Anyway no chicken would survive a night before getting eaten by predators. The photo of my flock waiting for spring. submitted by /u/motherofchickenskyiv [link] [comments]
- Someone dumped this guy at my local park… just wondering what breed they could be?I brought them back from the verge of death/hypothermia with a hair dryer and syringe-fed water… I figure probably a meat chicken. I have them set up with some food and water in a Guinea pig cage upstairs until the morning when rescues are open. I’ll find one to take them then. submitted by /u/fuckredditdawg [link] [comments]
- Dumped roostersAs per my previous post I, as someone who knows nothing about chickens, have been catching dumped roosters the past year. These guys have already been rehomed, but look how gorgeous they are! I also added clips at the end of how the more scaredy ones are caught. I’ve put so many hours into these guys, but I’ve grown such a soft spot for roosters. submitted by /u/GenimD [link] [comments]
- Found dumped/escaped roo with a cut beak? And hole in head?? And maybe a blind eye? People or chicken damagehi! found this dude in my neighborhood. we have feral chickens but they are all in really good shape unlike this new guy. he's got a huge scab on his scalp (presumably from bullying), a literal hole (see last image, it's dry and... deep?), at least one maybe blind eye, and his beak is both cut and it looks like he got the top surface of it shaved down?? (you can see it best on photo 5 I think) I assumed based on all that that he was somebodies. unless a chicken can damage their beak like that by themselves. anyway, he scampered away from me the first time I noticed him Sunday, but he only ran for a few feet before going back to laying down. he has very little energy and could not roost. he can't jump, either. so I grabbed him last night to give him at least some time in a pen with food and water. and I'm glad I did, he didn't have hardly any food in him for the night. he's currently eating and drinking. he isn't crowing at all. which is probably a blessing because Im not allowed roosters where I live. if anyone has any ideas about what life he used to lead, any ideas on what he needs to bounce back, any help at all would be appreciated. not sure what my plan for him long term is, if there is a long term for him. but I'm doing what I can. submitted by /u/ohboybugs [link] [comments]
