back on the farm..... The bio on our new gardener, Christopher or AJ Is 24yrs old has a 4yr old daughter out of wedlock. Mother of child married someone else after they separated. He wants a job desperately to support his daughter. He used to work the sugarcane fields for 5 years but never got SSS or philhealth benefits. He doesn't have a birth cert. It got burned when their house caught fire. We will have to track down if his birth was actually registered with the National Statistics Office to start getting him benefits. He only finished 6th grade and he said he just wants to give a better future to his daughter. Mrs Oz told him that he needs to think about it because we are willing to pay tuition and books after a year of employment. He had been actively looking for work for weeks My wife has a good feeling about him and thinks he will try to make it work as he has a long term goal. We will see

I like him already

I have 3 very load roosters. Is there a forest or safe area I can leave them where they can find food and water and sleep on tree branches? Or even a sanctuary that will give them life long care?

Chickens in the woods tend to become dinner very quickly for some animal, so you might as well make them your dinner. There's not many chicken sanctuaries around and they tend to be full of roosters. Good luck with your boys.

welcome to the thread @BigBirdy

I stongly discourage abandoning any domesticated animals. even though chickens are free rangers, their life will not be nirvana.

They probably would have a better death at the hands of someone butchering them than a predator. Even in the best conditions, one in five roos gets to hang out with hens.
