This rooster got hurt by his new people by accident. He can be very aggressive. He says, "Here I have learned that when people hurt you they are very sorry. They don't laugh. This is very unusual. Before people thrived on hurting roosters. Right now I kind of like being hurt because I am learning that my new people love me and what it means to have human friends."

"I felt like I had two brains before. I feel much more calm and content now. I also feel more confident."
