What can I do to help this rooster? He's being kept in a 2'x1-1/2' puppy crate over gravel. A water jug takes up half his space. He's never let out, has no bedding or grass. The neighbors say he's been fed only meager food scraps every few days. He seems so sweet but has stopped crowing and just lays there all alone. We live in a county that does not allow roosters. In fact, no chickens if you're on less than an acre-which this guy is. The neighbors have tried talking to him about giving him a proper shelter and care but he made no effort.
2 houses down has several hens and they are properly cared for so no one wants to get them in trouble. They've asked me to report it so it doesn't start a neighbor war-but this will get the hen owner in trouble too. The fact that he's not being fed enough to fatten him up makes us think this guy plans on fighting him. I don't know what to do besides let the hubby and kids steal him (their idea). I can keep him til I find him a better home but don't support the stealing part. Any advice??
