I already do!! 4 ISA Brown hens. Angel, Thunder Chick, Stevie Chicks, and Black Betty. They are about 25 weeks old, and have been hand fed and snuggled since they were 2 weeks old. I've started to harness and leash train them, and the bonds these girls have formed with me and my children is remarkable.. they run to us when they see us, and fly up onto our arms, and jump into our laps for kisses and cuddles. They groom us, take naps purring in our laps, and follow us around while we tend to their coop.
My Grandmother had pet Rooster named Rojo that lived in the House. He wore a diaper and was very well mannered. That Rooster lived to the ripe old age of 15. He got buried with full honors and a gravestone in my Grandmother's backyard in Central Texas. Miss you Rojo! ♥🐓
My mother frequently told the story of my grandmother's pet rooster, Oscar, that was mean as hell, loved only my grandmother. Oscar frequently attacked my mother and her 2 brothers. Rojo sounds like he was a gem. Not Oscar, lol.
Yes they always let the ladies eat first. When I call in the hens in I call them ladies. When they have chicks I call them Mumma and their name. The roosters are either mate or I use their name which they know.
@@librarianlovesrick 😱😿😂! Got it! Thank you! Fortunately (fortunately for many reasons), I’m a female! When I meet my next rooster, I’ll feel very safe.
I thought that sound meant “what is she doing?” lol. Seems like my rooster makes that sound when I have something in my hand that they are unsure of. Or when I’m doing something that is freaking them out lol like sweeping.
I've noticed that my roos will find food and do a special high pitched clucking sound, then the hens will run up to them and the roos will feed them. It's adorable to watch.
All my past Roos were gentlemen and always fed his girls first before eating himself. Now my greedy little Phillip is complete opposite. He is a kind boy and doesn't rough up the girls. Chickens are such fun to have around!
Koji clearly loves his human family! He appears to thoroughly enjoy EVERY interaction, whether it's playing, bathing, sharing food, or "adoration time." I never realized chickens were so friendly and social with people.
Growing up I had a rooster. He would just sleep on my lap when I watched TV, would play with my hair, follow me around, Watch my mom cook, share our food. It’s been 20 years since, but I still miss him sometimes.
Pretty much all of our domesticated livestock are very friendly. That's part of what made them good candidates to be domesticated. Cows are not only tasty but very friendly and loving.
Roosters offer food to the hens and chicks this way too- it's called "tidbitting" ^_^ They're seriously the best husbands/fathers/stepfathers of the animal kingdom.
Who wouldnt be when you are the only male amongst a flock of hens that you can mate with. All males in the wild act like this when they can choose from a number of females to mate with.
@@freespeechisdead202 no Nope. Elephant seals are terrible at harem management- they'll accidentally kill their own kids trying to fight off other seals. Roosters take that shit elsewhere Lions have harems and will kill offspring of the former lion if he defeats him in a challenge
@@Treemeadow You are talking about offspring, Im talking about mating. You obviously proved my point. The males will do whatever they have to do to MATE with females. Humans even act this way, especially the simps. They will fight with other men to get the girl that will just use them anyways. I would say penguins are one of the most loyal and will traverse thousands of miles to do what they need to do.
@@freespeechisdead202 No they don't. Deer, elk, sheep have the 1 male-many female system and they do not offer food to the females or young. Lions are even worse. I watched a documentary where the female lion had to go off and give birth and raise the lion cubs secretly for a while before introducing them back to the pride because there was a real threat of their own father killing them.
It was a little strange video that not even her mother showed her face. It gives a human touch to those videos, when a human that introduces her/his pet with its lovely and funny features to us viewers, shows her/his face even for a split of a second.
@@mkkuusisto6222 It's better not to show the faces of your kids online. There are so many creeps that take take advantage of kids online or save photos of them

I had several chickens when my wife and I lived in Hernando FL. The sweetest bird I had was a Rhode Island red named Cinnamon. This little girl from the time she was born was deeply attached to me. She'd be waiting on the porch for me to open the door in the morning so she could come in and see her daddy. I would go sit back down on the couch and she would come trotting over and jump in my lap and nest. I loved enjoying my coffee while petting her and she would often fall asleep right in my lap. I have never had such good eggs in my life since those birds. I miss you Cinnamon, daddy will always love you.
What an incredible story. As you'll see by my title, I run a chicken sanctuary, where I rescue unwanted birds. I'm so happy that you decided to take on the responsibility and give this rooster such an amazing life. We need more people like you in the world.
That sounds awesome. I'm glad people take care of animals that others see as "unwanted". I personally love watching my neighbours chickens. They have a huge pen. There's 12 hens and 1 rooster and they're all seemingly well cared for, as all of them look good and seem to get along really well. Though I don't know enough about chickens to say that they're truly well cared for, since I only know the basics.
I took care of some chickens 2 years ago for a landlord. Since that time I refuse to eat chicken. They are adorable and amazing animals and caring for chickens brought me such joy. The best thing is when they are excited to see you and run towards you ❤
I saw another one like this, might have even been this channel, and the chicken loved the little girl of the family so much he'd go out to meet her every day when she got off the school bus. Even had the timing down, knew when she'd be back and would sit there waiting.
Idk I have 4 chickens in love with me so it must not be too special. 😅 People just usually treat chickens as property/tools and not buddies. If you spend enough time with them they love to follow you everywhere and spend time with you.
I think its probably all the love, affection and interaction he gets. Sad to think that most chickens could be as adorable and affectionate as Koji if given the chance.
I rescued a chicken I found hiding underneath one of my front bushes. It was raining, and she was trying to stay dry. She had fallen off of Tyson chicken transport truck, as there is a plant a few miles from me. She was so gentle, and let me pick her up. Her beak had been damaged in the fall, so I fed her softened dog food, and as long as I kept her chicken feed deep enough, she could eat. She'd roost right next to my shoulder every night out on the porch and would even get on the big dog bed with my two big dogs! I loved her so much, and I still miss her terribly.
It’s so cute to see he has accepted you as his flock! You are his hens, and when he finds food, it’s his job as rooster to do little clucks to call his girls to the table. Offering food to you is called tidbitting. That his way of providing for his family. Roosters are amazing and I am so glad you saved him! Xx
This is so stinking adorable! I was raised on a farm and as a child, the roosters chased me so I’ve never considered a rooster could become what you’ve shown here! I love it!
They don't just do it at dawn. They'll rip one out any time they feel like it, and that is pretty often. We used to have a rooster who lived in the yard next door and he would crow almost continuously all day.
They crow to determine territory and warn others around that they are there. Going back to wild chickens, this is what roosters did to warn predators and other wild animals of their presence. Its like what many other animals do in the wild when they live in a family orientated situation. They crow mainly in the mornings because this is when all the hens get up off their perches and roosting branches and go to ground and search for food and become active and the roosters warn others that they are there or for others to stay away. Kind of like when you walk in the forest and you want to make noises so bears arent startled and attack by surprise. Or when you hear birds sing in the morning or during the day. A birds life like many other wildlife is constantly on high alert.
And this is why I am unable to eat animals. They all have their own special personalities, are very capable of love, affection, have feelings, love their offspring. He is so beautiful, sweet. No question he loves your daughter. Thank you for rescuing him. He's a lucky guy!!This shows what love and attention can do ❤
If you say " may all sentient beings be free from suffering " people will agree with you....but if you ask people to take responsibility and make some changes by not buying factory farmed meat, no one will listen.
@@ranakhatibthomas4031 I agree. I don't eat meat....but asking people not to buy factory farmed meat is an important first step, and most people won't even consider that.
I had a little Pekin rooster that survived Mareks disease for nearly 2 years and he just loved to sit on my shoulders while I walked around and he would croon in contentment. He would duck his head under my chin and ruffle his feathers and try and crow. He never could crow it was more of a cough. He would only eat out of my hand. He was so loving. I still miss him. So nice to see others finding out how loving they can be.
Such a sweet fellow! He loves you because he knows you saved his life. Then, you treated him with kindness and respect, made him feel safe and got him well. He shows his love and appreciation by giving treats from his own meals to you, the way any good natured rooster will do with his flock. So wonderful to see… ❤
@@franciscamuzard1434I’ve struggled with this for much of my life. I’ve tried going vegetarian but I can’t eat beans, soy, corn, grains or rice in any meaningful quantities. I can eat quinoa and wild rice without problems, plus pretty much any vegetable, but I do not feel well without meat in my diet. Honestly, if I could live on air and water I would do it. 🙁 My spiritual practice and science have made it plain to me that all living beings have emotions, thoughts, and the desire to live peacefully. So, I practice gratitude and gratefulness towards everything I eat. I also eat much less than I used to. If you can be healthy on a vegetarian diet I will be very happy for you! ❤
@@franciscamuzard1434Estoy tan feliz que estás pensando en dejar el consumo de carne. Yo no como nada que tenga cara. Hay muchos alimentos vegetales deliciosos. Espero que te funcione. Para mí han pasado 35 años ☺️
I have 12 hens and a rooster ! They are my pets. People do not give chickens enough credit, they truly are smart. I call my flock by their names and they come running for cuddles. I love these incredibly sweet birds ❤
I used to have a rooster that would sleep in my room overnight to avoid neighbour complaints, and every morning he knew exactly how to get back to his ladies outside, he'd run all the way downstairs, through the kitchen and jump at the backdoor till someone let him out!!!
Him giving the piece of food to you first was the most perspective changing moment I've had from an animal I didn't think much of. That is incredible! You definitely made the right decision in adopting him
😭🤣🤨2:09 Mom: "Happy birthday, Koji!" Koji: *utters the craziest quiet pterodactyl sound to ever come out of a rooster* 3:07-3:09 The hidden jacket rooster clip made me smile too! I really love how expressive Koji is & his cute little interactions with his people! Adorable footage & story!
Mine was just a regular old white Tyson chicken that fell off one of the trucks as it went past my house. She was awesome, and I miss her terribly to this day.
We raised a chicken from an egg when I was a kid in Texas. Daisy was almost loud enough to be a rooster and so feisty she had the dog and the cats on the run. Very friendly and had tons of personality.
On the "farm," in its waning years, we had chickens. I had chickens at my house, too. Small groups. Never more than 8, I think. Some chickens were quite friendly, and some were not. When there was finally just one chicken, who yes, was invited into my house and also was my father's last pet who would sit outside with him for hours, it was a different level of contact and friendship. Chickens who have a flock might be a little more independent of people, favoring their chicken friends. But there are always independent spirits.
What a beautiful and important story. I’m so glad I learned more about chickens, their intelligence, and bonds… we have been eating more vegan but every piece of information likes this helps us become even more motivated and committed. Thank you!!!!
Good on you for being open & willing to change! I’ve been vegan for 29 years, & it was the best decision I’ve ever made, hands down. I’m 50, but I still feel like I’m 30. I wish you a long, healthy life, too! 🌱
@@cracksofdawnit’s been a long time coming but what we are accomplishing feels great!!! It’s does our hearts minds and bodies good. Thank you for leading by example and for sharing encouragement!!
All animals have feelings , feel fear and understand love ! No animals should be abused ! Thank you for the love and care you give to this lovely rooster 🐔 ! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍
I love roosters ❤️ We have 9 at our rescue because they are discarded so often. Recently studies have shown that they have the cognition of 4 year old humans. They are so awesome and loving and fun to be friends with 🥰
He found his flock 🥰🥰🥰. I love my own chickens like they're pets. My smallest rooster and his mate are indoor pets, as well, though they actually have their own room. Most of my chickens don't like being held, but the ones that do LOVE it. They just nestle down in my arms. They are such smart, sweet, and funny animals. ♥♥
I love what you said about the way people treat chicken I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you for putting up that message so people may be will start being kinder to animals.
There is so much we don’t know about animals. There is so much smarter and emotional than we think. Thank you for giving him a good home. He’s such a sweetheart.🐓🐓🐓❤❤❤
So many amazing memories of me being at my grandpas growing up, always had a few chickens and the rooster Ralph. Never forgot that sweet feisty baby. He would fly at me when I got Millie's eggs. Sweet when he wanted to be and was my grandpa's heart. Then Popcorn, a white rooster when a baby would dance when you tapped on the table. Nothing could replace or buy the feelings of having those memories with my best friend and guide my grandpa Charles. Love this thank you for reminding me of such pure times ❤ Long Live the Roosters🐓
You guys are very kind . God bless your beautiful family 💕 Koji & his colourful diapers are so cute 😅 my initial reaction “ That’s a dog 🐕 in a rooster 🐔‘s body “😂
My mom had a pet rooster that she called Chicken! He was a Banty and so pretty! And he had quite the personality, was very fun and feisty. He loved to snuggle and would get right on our laps and lay there, loving being petted and even take naps! He liked to be out and about during the day, but every night a little before dusk, he would come to the door and crow and peck to be let in. She had a big box set up for him with door and a roost and he'd just march in there and go to bed! He died in a very sad way, though. He got on the fence next door and got killed by the neighbors dogs. Was very heartbreaking 😢
@bkpsly1 I am so sorry for your rooster 🐔😢 This was a sweet story and I am sure, up in heaven over the 🌈 your birdy is napping in a lot of boxes on a perch ☮️🙏 I can relate to your buddy's fate. I lost a very beloved bunny to a dog 😢🐇 and have not been the same since. A huge piece of my heart was taken that day.
That has to be the silliest, happiest, content and most engaged bird I've EVER seen! I know chickens are pretty smart. Well, smarter than a pea fowl, anyway. And, I've seen them trained to do different activities or tricks, if you will. This little guy isn't just responding to a set of signals, but actively participating in these games of hide and seek, staying focused on finding his "bestie" without getting sidetracked. Such a cuddler, too!
He is a very handsome, sweet rooster. Very bonded to your daughter. It's heartwarming to watch. I had a pet hen that was my bestie when I was very young. She followed me everywhere, climbed in my lap for cuddles, never left my side when I was home. Great little hen just like your rooster. Enjoy Koji and his rooster antics. They make great pets!!
I don’t know whose luckier, Koji or you and your daughter!❤❤❤ My heart was warmed by this!! Please put runners on the floor for him!! He’s sliding all over and his poor little joints! ❤️
I have had many pet chickens, ducks, and geese over the years, and if you've been with these birds long enough, you have formed bonds with them like the bond in this video. After awhile, you come to realize that these birds are smarter, more full of character and emotion than most people could ever believe. I have had several standouts over the years, but they've all been dear little friends, and it breaks my heart when one of them dies. Koji is a very lucky chicken, and I hope he gets to live a long, happy life. He is clearly living his best life now. I'm glad he found his people!
Absolute sensational!! What a story! What a family! What a rooster! Empathy at its finest. Thank you for giving this rooster the life of his dreams. It was wonderful to listen to the narrative. This story should turn into a book.
Would you keep chicken as a pet?
Yes
I had chickens as pets, unfortunately I sometime got hungry too...
I did.
Already have many!
I already do!! 4 ISA Brown hens. Angel, Thunder Chick, Stevie Chicks, and Black Betty. They are about 25 weeks old, and have been hand fed and snuggled since they were 2 weeks old. I've started to harness and leash train them, and the bonds these girls have formed with me and my children is remarkable.. they run to us when they see us, and fly up onto our arms, and jump into our laps for kisses and cuddles. They groom us, take naps purring in our laps, and follow us around while we tend to their coop.
My Grandmother had pet Rooster named Rojo that lived in the House. He wore a diaper and was very well mannered. That Rooster lived to the ripe old age of 15. He got buried with full honors and a gravestone in my Grandmother's backyard in Central Texas. Miss you Rojo! ♥🐓

Not a good idea. Chickens carry salmonella on their bodies.

@@Ceerads absolutely not! The main rooster has to be the boss. He is a gentleman to his women and a terror to other males

Seriously not a feather out of places he surely is loved and not being stressed
Koji clearly loves his human family! He appears to thoroughly enjoy EVERY interaction, whether it's playing, bathing, sharing food, or "adoration time." I never realized chickens were so friendly and social with people.
Chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, they are all capable of deep bonds with humans. So few ever get the chance though.

@@ranakhatibthomas4031 I agree. I don't eat meat....but asking people not to buy factory farmed meat is an important first step, and most people won't even consider that.
@@bambismomkelly7423 Yes. I understand.
All animals deserve love and care! They have emotions and feeling just like us which is showcased in this video very well.
Yes, they do❤❤
Okay expert
I had a little Pekin rooster that survived Mareks disease for nearly 2 years and he just loved to sit on my shoulders while I walked around and he would croon in contentment. He would duck his head under my chin and ruffle his feathers and try and crow. He never could crow it was more of a cough. He would only eat out of my hand. He was so loving. I still miss him. So nice to see others finding out how loving they can be.
They really are special animals…such personalities.
OMG it is so adorable. I'm in love with that rooster and kudos to this awesome family for giving him such a lovely home.
Such a sweet fellow! He loves you because he knows you saved his life. Then, you treated him with kindness and respect, made him feel safe and got him well. He shows his love and appreciation by giving treats from his own meals to you, the way any good natured rooster will do with his flock. So wonderful to see… ❤
Me estoy poniendo así, me da pena los maltratos animales y estoy por no comer ninguno.
@@franciscamuzard1434I’ve struggled with this for much of my life. I’ve tried going vegetarian but I can’t eat beans, soy, corn, grains or rice in any meaningful quantities. I can eat quinoa and wild rice without problems, plus pretty much any vegetable, but I do not feel well without meat in my diet. Honestly, if I could live on air and water I would do it. 🙁
My spiritual practice and science have made it plain to me that all living beings have emotions, thoughts, and the desire to live peacefully.
So, I practice gratitude and gratefulness towards everything I eat. I also eat much less than I used to.
If you can be healthy on a vegetarian diet I will be very happy for you! ❤
@@franciscamuzard1434Estoy tan feliz que estás pensando en dejar el consumo de carne. Yo no como nada que tenga cara. Hay muchos alimentos vegetales deliciosos. Espero que te funcione. Para mí han pasado 35 años ☺️
I have 12 hens and a rooster ! They are my pets. People do not give chickens enough credit, they truly are smart. I call my flock by their names and they come running for cuddles. I love these incredibly sweet birds ❤
I used to have a rooster that would sleep in my room overnight to avoid neighbour complaints, and every morning he knew exactly how to get back to his ladies outside, he'd run all the way downstairs, through the kitchen and jump at the backdoor till someone let him out!!!
@@CervineSkol Smart boy!😁
That’s such a beautiful story, thank you for rescuing him, he is a beautiful rooster and happy! God bless you! 🙏🩷
The love from his humans has made him the healthiest and most hansome rooster in the world
Him giving the piece of food to you first was the most perspective changing moment I've had from an animal I didn't think much of. That is incredible! You definitely made the right decision in adopting him
I've seen roosters do that for their hens when outside. He must consider his humans to be part of his flock and 'his girls'.
He is just to precious 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😭🤣🤨2:09 Mom: "Happy birthday, Koji!" Koji: *utters the craziest quiet pterodactyl sound to ever come out of a rooster* 3:07-3:09 The hidden jacket rooster clip made me smile too!
I really love how expressive Koji is & his cute little interactions with his people! Adorable footage & story!
That was the devil😂😂
That was actually a very common rooster sound...
**THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST HEARTFELT AND LOVING VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN!! BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS CHICKEN!! I LOVE YOU!!**
THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL BIRD.
After so many years I still miss my chicken who used to follow me everywhere I go.
I know how you feel. I miss mine too. I can’t believe it’s been a year already since he passed.
Same. Scooter was a black English Bantam.
@@Sanity_Faire mine was a Silkie rooster who was so kind!
@@Animalsarefamily-p2n oh they are cute!
Mine was just a regular old white Tyson chicken that fell off one of the trucks as it went past my house. She was awesome, and I miss her terribly to this day.
We raised a chicken from an egg when I was a kid in Texas. Daisy was almost loud enough to be a rooster and so feisty she had the dog and the cats on the run. Very friendly and had tons of personality.
Thanks for taking care of an animal and making the world a better place.
This is the most heartwarming story I have ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing!
I’ve never met this little dude, but his little antics and noises bring me great joy 😂
Clearly a great household friend to have!
I'm so glad to be vegan because it has opened up my heart and allowed me to see how lovely these creatures are.
Chickens are so great, they can be so cuddly and sweet
Yeah real sweet depends on the style it’s made though 🍽️
He’s beautiful! ♥️🐓♥️
how precious. poor baby, thank you for rescuing him.
Roosters are so sweet 🥰 he sees them as his hens, that’s why he shares food and hates to have them out of his sight!
Chickens Roosters Cows Donkeys Buffaloes Pigs - every animal bird is deserving of kindness & compassionate treatment
Which is why humans need to stop exploiting and killing them, especially for food.
@@MindVersusMiseryFor food it’s ok
@@lathafalls7675 Why? Suffering is suffering, and humans have no requirement for eating animals.
@MindVersusMisery Exactly. And the way that animals are raised for food is very, very cruel.
every animal bird
Yeah, I wish true kindness would take over ~ all over❤❤❤He is so precious
Absolutely wonderful video ! God bless you all. 😅
On the "farm," in its waning years, we had chickens. I had chickens at my house, too. Small groups. Never more than 8, I think. Some chickens were quite friendly, and some were not. When there was finally just one chicken, who yes, was invited into my house and also was my father's last pet who would sit outside with him for hours, it was a different level of contact and friendship. Chickens who have a flock might be a little more independent of people, favoring their chicken friends. But there are always independent spirits.
He's the sweetest! ❤
2:09 Happy birthday, Koji!
Koji: *dinosaur noises*
😂😂😂🎉
Legit my first thought
I mean, chickens are the closest living relative to the T Rex. King of the birds lol
He is the most precious little guy! ❤
It warms my heart to see people give love to roosters and appreciate them the way I do. 😊
I always tell people that roosters make terrific pets. I have had more than five naturally tame roosters. They just trusted me. ❤
He's quite handsome. And I love his story. He has a happy life now❤
Koji is simply adorable 🧡 Thank you so much for rescuing him 🙏
Thank you for helping hes adorable. I know the love we have for our pets. The world needs more people like you.
What a beautiful and important story. I’m so glad I learned more about chickens, their intelligence, and bonds… we have been eating more vegan but every piece of information likes this helps us become even more motivated and committed. Thank you!!!!
It's been 15 years for us and it's the best thing we ever did for our physical and spiritual health. Keep going!
@@mynameismarlysThank you for the encouragement!!! 15 years is awesome!
Good on you for being open & willing to change! I’ve been vegan for 29 years, & it was the best decision I’ve ever made, hands down. I’m 50, but I still feel like I’m 30. I wish you a long, healthy life, too! 🌱
@@cracksofdawnit’s been a long time coming but what we are accomplishing feels great!!! It’s does our hearts minds and bodies good. Thank you for leading by example and for sharing encouragement!!
So very sweet!!! Thank you-all for sharing the love❣️
All animals have feelings , feel fear and understand love ! No animals should be abused ! Thank you for the love and care you give to this lovely rooster 🐔 ! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍
That is a really loving household. Great mom. Great daughter. I need to be more like them 😭
I love roosters ❤️ We have 9 at our rescue because they are discarded so often. Recently studies have shown that they have the cognition of 4 year old humans. They are so awesome and loving and fun to be friends with 🥰
He found his flock 🥰🥰🥰. I love my own chickens like they're pets. My smallest rooster and his mate are indoor pets, as well, though they actually have their own room. Most of my chickens don't like being held, but the ones that do LOVE it. They just nestle down in my arms. They are such smart, sweet, and funny animals. ♥♥
Thank you for saving him. He is clever and the bond between you and him is adorable.😊
I love what you said about the way people treat chicken I couldn’t have said it better myself. Thank you for putting up that message so people may be will start being kinder to animals.
OHMYGOD!! This is sooooo sweet!! That's one lucky rooster what a wonderful family God bless all of them🙏
There is so much we don’t know about animals. There is so much smarter and emotional than we think. Thank you for giving him a good home. He’s such a sweetheart.🐓🐓🐓❤❤❤
I grew up with chickens. That is a very talkative rooster!
Ur rooster is so cute and adorable! He's such a sweetheart, i love him ❤️!
Thank you for so much love. Beautiful true story.❤
I would cuddle this bird. He's so sweet.
KFC doesn't think so
tasty too
Aww bless you for rescuing him and educating people on how smart and affectionate chickens are
So many amazing memories of me being at my grandpas growing up, always had a few chickens and the rooster Ralph. Never forgot that sweet feisty baby. He would fly at me when I got Millie's eggs. Sweet when he wanted to be and was my grandpa's heart. Then Popcorn, a white rooster when a baby would dance when you tapped on the table. Nothing could replace or buy the feelings of having those memories with my best friend and guide my grandpa Charles. Love this thank you for reminding me of such pure times ❤ Long Live the Roosters🐓
I love his diaper! Thank you for taking care of him. God Bless😇
You guys are very kind . God bless your beautiful family 💕 Koji & his colourful diapers are so cute 😅 my initial reaction “ That’s a dog 🐕 in a rooster 🐔‘s body “😂
1:39. The happy crow and the little run! 😭 Ohh my heart! What a happy little gentleman!
❤ Thank you for representing chickens and for taking such wonderful care of this beautiful bird!
He is so handsome love his colours and totally fell on his feet when you guys adopted him living his best life with his family 🥰
My mom had a pet rooster that she called Chicken! He was a Banty and so pretty! And he had quite the personality, was very fun and feisty. He loved to snuggle and would get right on our laps and lay there, loving being petted and even take naps! He liked to be out and about during the day, but every night a little before dusk, he would come to the door and crow and peck to be let in. She had a big box set up for him with door and a roost and he'd just march in there and go to bed! He died in a very sad way, though. He got on the fence next door and got killed by the neighbors dogs. Was very heartbreaking 😢
@bkpsly1 I am so sorry for your rooster 🐔😢 This was a sweet story and I am sure, up in heaven over the 🌈 your birdy is napping in a lot of boxes on a perch ☮️🙏 I can relate to your buddy's fate. I lost a very beloved bunny to a dog 😢🐇 and have not been the same since. A huge piece of my heart was taken that day.
That has to be the silliest, happiest, content and most engaged bird I've EVER seen! I know chickens are pretty smart. Well, smarter than a pea fowl, anyway. And, I've seen them trained to do different activities or tricks, if you will. This little guy isn't just responding to a set of signals, but actively participating in these games of hide and seek, staying focused on finding his "bestie" without getting sidetracked. Such a cuddler, too!
He loves her. It’s that simple. Animals do have and understand emotions.
He is a very handsome, sweet rooster. Very bonded to your daughter. It's heartwarming to watch. I had a pet hen that was my bestie when I was very young. She followed me everywhere, climbed in my lap for cuddles, never left my side when I was home. Great little hen just like your rooster. Enjoy Koji and his rooster antics. They make great pets!!
I love everything about this story…. Really made me think about “all creatures great & small”….🥰….deserving of love….
I don’t know whose luckier, Koji or you and your daughter!❤❤❤ My heart was warmed by this!! Please put runners on the floor for him!! He’s sliding all over and his poor little joints! ❤️
2:09
"happy birthday koji!"
*_"AURAAHHH 👿😈👹😈👹👺"_*
I have had many pet chickens, ducks, and geese over the years, and if you've been with these birds long enough, you have formed bonds with them like the bond in this video. After awhile, you come to realize that these birds are smarter, more full of character and emotion than most people could ever believe. I have had several standouts over the years, but they've all been dear little friends, and it breaks my heart when one of them dies.
Koji is a very lucky chicken, and I hope he gets to live a long, happy life. He is clearly living his best life now. I'm glad he found his people!
Absolute sensational!! What a story! What a family! What a rooster! Empathy at its finest. Thank you for giving this rooster the life of his dreams. It was wonderful to listen to the narrative. This story should turn into a book.
What a beautiful and loving Feather Family ❤️😍❤️🥰❤️
He is just adorable ❤❤
