FAQs

We’re asked weekly if we have room for a rooster or other bird. Unfortunately, because we’re at capacity, we are not accepting owner surrenders as they divert precious resources away from animals in need of dire rescue. We suggest contacting your local shelter or humane society if you are on an urgent timeline (see links above). It’s our hope that any domesticated animal you bring into your life is responsibly and compassionately taken care of for the duration of their natural lifespans. We also recommend checking out these resources to learn how to keep your rooster or hen as an indoor pet:
Guide to Keeping Indoor Chickens
You may also opt to build soundproof coops or install soundproofing in a closet or room for your house rooster.
