5th day

Sundance’s story of kindness.

This past November, there was an emergency rescue we scrambled to make happen.  A couple from our surrounding community came to the farm with an urgent need to find a home for their two roosters – in two days.  They are backyard chicken keepers – and of course, after getting chicks – it was discovered that there were two roosters among the flock.  No surprise to Kindred – anyone getting chicks is going to have 50% roosters!!!  After they started crowing (as Roosters do!), a neighbor complained of the noise.  Bylaw was called in, and the owners were given two days’ notice to remove the Roosters or they would have to be confiscated.  

Caught in a bind and without much notice – Kindred opened our doors to these Roosters, who through no fault of their own, were faced with a death sentence.  One of these handsome fellows we fondly call, Sundance.  We took in Sundance and his companion, Butch.  Both have settled in well – and sure do share their appreciation with their vocal crowing.  We like to think they are saying “thank you” for being their safe, forever home.
