]]>Boo now spends his days hanging out with Bowman’s other pets, snuggling with humans, going on road trips, playing the piano, taking rides in a doggy stroller, and watching the TV, but his life wasn’t always so carefree. He grew up on a farm and spent six months being overfed with other chickens, which was pretty dangerous for an animal of this breed.
Since Cornish Cross roosters can’t self-regulate their feed consumption, Boo was in pretty bad shape when Bowman came to pick him up. She discovered him after seeing a Craigslist ad from a man who no longer wanted his “‘mutant-like ugly chicken”, and he was so huge that he could barely breathe.
Bowman helped Boo escape the meat factory and live safely back in 2017, and they’ve been together ever since. Despite being fearful of humans in the beginning, Boo is now living his best life as a house chicken and he’s followed by over 35,000 people on Instagram and counting.

]]>“I scooped him up and he seemed really content in my hand, and I had him do some office work with me,” Licate shared with The Dodo. “It was hard not to fall in love with him. And I was leaving for the day…So it was like this knee-jerk reaction. It just came out of my mouth. I was like, ‘I’ll take him.’
She brought Bree home to foster him, however, she quickly became his surrogate mother. Her plan to give him to a sanctuary was crossed out when she realized he became a part of her family. But, there was another problem: roosters aren’t allowed to live in NYC. Fortunately, his mom chose him, and the two moved out of the city.
“To be able to provide him a good home and to provide him with love that’s part of my mission,” she added. “He’s enriched my life so much. I think without him wouldn’t be as joyful.”

]]>A female chicken is born with one ovary and one inactive gonad. That gonad has three options for developing: to become an ovary, a testicle, or a combination of the two called ovotestis.
If there’s a cyst or tumor on the hen’s ovary, the gonad will activate. If it develops into a testicle or an ovotestis, a hen will experience the release of male sex hormone androgen, which may result in a sex change.
