PART II
Jasper's Story
When I first saw Jasper, he was all mangy, skinny and had terrible scaly leg mites. His comb was bloody and his tail feathers were all screwed up. Heck, he was UGLY! But, I loved him as soon as I saw him. I knew where he came from, but I just recently found out his story. He came from a guy down the street who free-ranges. Even if Jasper was lucky enough to find food, the three larger roosters would beat him up and deprive him of food. He was probably going to die unless we took him. He was also afraid of people and wouldnt let anyone touch him. One day I was feeding the chooks bread when I spotted Jasper approaching me. I extended my arm and he cautiously grabbed it out of my hand and called the girls over to eat it! I has so happy to see Jasper taking the bread from my hand and giving it to his girlies! Progress with Jasper was going great! With proper nutrition and care, his feather condition and color greatly improved. He's beautiful! Jasper is now the proud papa of 8 offspring! One day, he was sitting there, dust bathing, and I approached him. He didnt seem to be too alarmed, so I reached out and petted him. He actually let me pet him! I decided to take it a step farther and I scooped him up into my arms! He wasnt even afraid at all! I carried him all around showing everyone. I couldnt believe I could possibly change him that much! Now, Jasper's feathers are perfect and his scalys are gone. He'll eat out of my hand and occasionally let me hold him. He protects his girls with his life and always lets them eat before he does. I think he definately deserves to be roo of the year because he'll always be in my eyes. I love my Jasper!

PART III
Why is Jasper such a nice guy?
Well, Jasper protects his ladies with his life. He was about to take on a hawk for them until I saw his heroic act and put them in the coop. He didnt want to go in because he wanted to protect his girlies. Jasper never eats any treats or food until his girls are done. If he finds food, he will call them over and let them eat first. Jasper is such a sweetie. He will let you hold him and hand feed him. Another reason why Jasper is a nice guy is because of his past. Like I said earlier, Jasper was skinny and underfed. He had a bloody comb, scaly leg mites and his feathers were in poor condition. That's how he looked when I rescued him. It's hard to imagine that with proper nutriton and care, he could ever look as beautiful as he does now. Jasper will let you pet him and he's come a long way from the frantic, scared rooster he was when I rescued him. Also, he won prettiest rooster, and many other awards in his internet contest career.
Jasper doesn't just have the best personality ever, but he's also the prettiest rooster you could ever see! His deep green tail feathers are stunning and the way his feathers shine in the sun make the ladies swoon!
There's just so much great things to say about Japser, it's impossible to list them all here. Jasper is more than deserving of being Rooster of the Year. From his past, to his present, he will be a role model for roosters and hens everywhere. Please consider Jasper for Rooster of the Year!
