Did someone forward you this email? Then, 👇

Welcome to the Rooster Roster! We heard your feedback (thank you!) and you are overwhelmingly in favor of browsing birds by location. Ask, and ye shall receive. Please reply and let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see in future editions. We read all your replies to this email!

So without further ado, here’s what we have for you this week:

  • A new layout, so you can browse these free-agent friends by location!

  • An emu?!

  • How to smoothly introduce a new bird to your flock

  • Our heartfelt thanks for being with us as we try to find homes for all our feathery little friends.

Use the table of contents to jump to your state, or scroll through to browse anywhere you’d like an excuse to travel.

One tip: we highlight birds that are new to their shelters, so we recommend also browsing through your local shelter’s adoptable animals to see if you can spot any older hidden gems waiting for you, or even birds pending a stray hold that you could be first in line to see when they become available. Get to know your local shelter’s system and you will have a leg up on adopting the bird of your dreams!

Introducing a Newly Adopted Chicken to Your Flock

So, you’ve adopted a chicken. Great! You already have birds, so you can just throw the new kid in with your flock and everything will settle in, right? Wrong!

Chickens need some time to acclimate socially, but also medically! Properly quarantining your new birds is the best way to assure the health and survival of your new friend AND your existing flock! Read more about quarantine times and methods to make sure the pecking order adjusts without too may ruffled feathers.

Did you fall in love with one of these birds today? Send us a photo of your adopted bird for a chance to be featured in a future edition of the Rooster Roster and on our social media pages!

Remember: If you know someone who’s in the market for a new avian friend, or just loves to look at pictures of birds, forward them this newsletter! If you have suggestions for future newsletter issues, please reply to this email to let us know. Specifically, please let us know if you prefer to browse adoptable birds by location (to find the birds nearest to you), or bird species (because you’ll fly across country for right man drake). Do you need pictures, or just locations? Thank you THANK YOU for being an early subscriber!

It’s the end, and you know what that means. ←
