Thank you, Cari, I will. He is crazy looking, but makes up for his disheveled appearance with a wonderful personality

Cari,
He looks like a shamo to me. here is info about the breed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamo(chicken)
Someone will be interested in him for sure, don't have him put down. I will ask around.


edit: Could also be an Aseel which is similar.

Oh yeah! That's exactly what he looks like! He even stands upright the same way and he's very tall. He's coming home from the vet today - I'm going to start researching his breed. Thank you.

Here is an Aseel.
The Shamos and Aseels are game birds and a favorite for cock-fighting. Hopefully he wasn't used for this and then dumped when injured. They aren't that easily available for the regular backyard chickener, I have looked.

I don't think he was used for fighting - he's as gentle as a lamb. One of the farmed animal sanctuaries I work for rescued 5 fighters last year and they have to be kept away from the public because they readily attack people. This guy is nothing like them.

Strange looking bird. He looks like he's 6 feet tall.

thats good

I would take him but I have a lot of roosters already. I will still ask around to some people I know, I also have a game bird breeders meeting on August 5th to go to if you still have him by then, I'm sure he could be adopted from one of the nice people there.

I know someone who would love that bird, not fight him, not eat him. He has a very safe setup for him, and a girl he could live with until he died of old age. Sounds too good to be true, but I am not kidding. PM me
