Meet Chicken Joe. Chicken Joe was brought to the shelter by one of our community members, Chicken Joe was roaming around Encinitas trying to make friends. Here are a few fun facts about Roosters: Crowing: Roosters crow to greet the day, lead their flock, alert about predators, and mark boundaries. They usually start crowing just before sunrise. Biological clock: Roosters have a unique biological clock that tells them when the sun is coming up. Memory: Roosters have excellent memories and can recognize up to 100 human faces. Eye movement: Roosters and chickens have rapid eye movement, which means they dream like humans. Spurs: Rooster spurs grow continuously and harden over time, developing a sharp end as the rooster matures. Roosters use their spurs as weapons to protect their flock and territory. Keeping the peace: Roosters usually don't fight with hens, and often break up hen fights. Chicken Joe is ready for his new home, if you would like to meet Chicken Joe come to the Escondido Campus.
