My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How this pet arrived:
Steve was brought in by his previous owner.

At SDHS:
Steve received a wellness exam, and seems to be in good health. He is now ready for his new home!

Why this pet is the one for you:
Meet Steve! Steve is ready to find a new flock of hens to join! Roosters play an important role in a chicken flock, providing protection and leadership. If you're thinking about adopting a new rooster, here are some things to consider:
1. Flock Size and Composition: Ideally, there should be a balanced number of hens to allow for social interactions and minimize competition among them. The number of hens will depend on the breed and the space available for the flock.
2. Compatibility: It's important to ensure that the rooster is introduced to a flock where he will get along well with the hens. Look for hens that are of similar size and temperament to the rooster to help reduce potential conflicts. Slow and supervised introductions can help gauge their compatibility before fully integrating them.
3. Living Space and Safety: Consider the living space and safety of the new flock. Ensure that the coop and outdoor area are spacious enough to accommodate the entire flock comfortably. The area should also be secure, protecting the rooster and hen from predators.
4. Care and Well-being: The rooster and hens should have access to proper nutrition, clean water, and appropriate shelter. Regular veterinary care and preventive measures against parasites and diseases are also important. Ensuring a harmonious and well-matched flock will contribute to the overall happiness and well-being of Steve and his new feathered companions.
