Silly Zane! Pic

Reminds me of a one legged chicken I once had. Her name was Unipod.

Did something happen to Zane to hurt him, or was he born that way? Either way, kudos for keeping him!

Bless his precious little heart. I hope you give that boy lots of snuggles, he's special.

Where there's a will, there's a way. He's adorable.
Do you think he'd like a half blind hen for a girlfriend or maybe one that thinks she's a glass and metal recycler?

There's lots more to it, too, if you do a search. The saga was continued in later threads.

Thanks for the links, Lisa! Yes, he has a long story. He's my very special buddy, the most affectionate rooster I've ever had...and I've had some good ones.

Whew! I read MOST of the other posts about Zane- until I got cross-eyed and teary! So I am deeeeeeelighted to see how happy and resourceful he is and you all are!

Not the happiest story, but a lot better than it was! I already LOVE the boy!

That boy just isn't giving up is he!!

So glad to hear about him again, I think about him often!

Lucas used to sit in front of his food bowl and eat, it was so cute!!

Thanks so much. Zane has alot of interest in life, he's cheerful, funny, crows his heart out when he's feeling good, alarms for the flock, etc. Sometimes, I think I'm being very selfish, trying to keep him with me in his condition, but when his daddy, Hawkeye, died suddenly, he was the only rooster I had for the laying flock and right after that, he got hurt. I had eggs from Hawkeye and did hatch Zane's brothers, Dutch and Mace, and his sisters, Zoe and Margaret, but at the time, I had no way of knowing if they would hatch. Thought he might be all I had left of my Hawkeye.
Zane means so much to us and we happily take care of him, try to keep him entertained, etc. When and if he loses interest in life and becomes depressed, or if he develops another hock infection, we will reluctantly let him go.
