Roger (rooster) Arrived 1st September 2017 In late August little Roger the rooster turned up on someone’s porch, that someone happened to be afraid of roosters. He loitered on their front porch, peaking in the door. Happy Hooves were contacted about the rogue rooster, and his reign of terror came to an end.

Benji
Benji (rooster) Arrived 25 March 2017 Benji’s story is one we have heard time and time again. His previous owner purchased some 7-week old Bantam chickens, sexed as females. As the hens began to mature, it became evident that Benji was in fact a male – A beautiful little Belgian Bantam rooster. As his owner’s resided in suburbia, they were unable to keep Benji and contacted us for assistance. We weren’t sure how Benji and our resident bantam King Louis would react to each other. After a short time in quarantine, Benji was…

Corney (Ameraucauna rooster).

Wendy
Wendy lamb: Arrived 12 August 2015 Wendy the lamb was picked up from the side of the road in northern WA at approximately three weeks of age. It was assumed she had received the colostrum from her mother’s first milk, as she was in good condition. She was raised from that point on 1:4 bottled cows’ milk to water ratio, which was way too low! We’re not sure how much of that she was fed (quantity per feed). Two weeks before arriving at Happy Hooves Farm Sanctuary, milk was reduced…
King Louis
King Louis (Bantam Black Rosecomb rooster): Arrived 2012 We were contacted by a woman in Darlington who had raised a chick who turned out to be a rooster – living in the suburbs, she was unable to keep him due to council regulations and he was at risk of being put down if no home could be found for him. We had recently lost our rooster to a fox attack, so it was kind of an upside to that loss, that we had room and took him in. He has…
