πŸ“Roosters: we cannot take in any more roosters at this time πŸ“πŸ’” β€” we already have four, and there are simply so many in need. That said, here are a few things that might help:

🏑 Town Rules β€” Are you certain roosters aren’t allowed in your town? Sometimes rules are more flexible than expected.

πŸ“ About Roosters β€” They’re often misunderstood! Roosters are natural protectors of hens πŸ₯: they sound predator alerts πŸ‘€, will defend the flock 🦺, break up squabbles βœ‹, and even help hens find food 🌱. Young roos can seem β€œaggressive,” but often it’s just hormones βš‘οΈβ€”many calm down with time and become excellent flock members πŸ’›.

πŸ“š Resources & Rehoming β€” The group Rooster Allies is wonderful for education and support. For rehoming connections, you can try these Facebook groups:
πŸ“ Rooster Allies (education & advocacy)
πŸ“ CT Rooster Rehoming
πŸ” CT Chicken Chatter
πŸ” CT Backyard Chickens

You can also post in larger chicken-owner groups β€” just note that you’re seeking a pet-only home, and screen adopters carefully to be sure it’s the right fit. Sadly, about half of every hatch are roosters, and it’s heartbreaking how often they’re unwanted. Thank you so much for caring enough to seek safe options for yours. That compassion means everything. πŸ’›

🌾🐐 A little something to be thankful for… πŸ’š

A huge thank you to our longtime supporter, Linda, for gifting our farm crew this wonderful new hay feeder! πŸ₯°

Our animals go through a LOT of hay, so this is such a thoughtful and helpful gift. And judging by these pictures, the crew wasted no time putting it to good use! πŸ˜‚πŸŒΎ

We are incredibly grateful for the people who continue to support our rescue and the animals who call Abbotts Hill home. Thank you, Linda, for always thinking of our crew! πŸ’šπŸπŸ‘

The crew gives it two hooves up! πŸπŸ‘πŸΌπŸŒΎ

πŸ°πŸ‘πŸ’š ALFIE HOPPED INTO HIS FOREVER HOME! πŸ’šπŸ‘πŸ°

We have some hoppy news to share! πŸ₯ΉπŸ‡πŸŽ‰

Our sweet Alfie has officially found his forever home! 🏑❀️🐰

One of our amazing counselors from our summer program 🌻🐐 reached out and asked if Alfie was up for adoption. While we weren’t planning on adopting Alfie out, this home turned out to be such a perfect fit for our boy that we just knew it was meant to be. πŸ₯°πŸ°πŸ’•

Alfie’s story started out pretty tough. πŸ’”

He was found abandoned on the streets, matted and dirty, with his little paws stained yellow from urine. 😒🐰 He needed lots of love, care and TLC… and he got plenty of it here. 🫢🏻πŸ₯•πŸ›πŸ’š

And now look at him! πŸ₯Ήβœ¨

Our little rescue bunny is officially a happy, loved family bunny! πŸ°πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦πŸ‘β€οΈ

Even better? His new home is right here in Newtown! πŸŒ³πŸ‘πŸ‡πŸ’•

It’s always a little hare-d to say goodbye 😭🐰, but knowing Alfie is safe, loved and exactly where he belongs makes our hearts so happy. πŸ’šπŸ₯Ή

And there’s a little silver lining for us, too… 🌈🐰 His adoption opens up a spot in the future for us to give another bunny in need a second chance. πŸ«ΆπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ‡

So here’s to Alfie’s new chapter! πŸŽ‰πŸ°
More binkies, bunny naps, yummy treats and LOTS of love ahead! πŸ₯•πŸ“πŸ’€β€οΈ

Happy forever, sweet Alfie! πŸ°πŸ‘πŸ’š
You definitely landed on your feet. πŸ˜‰πŸ‡βœ¨

And remember- everybunny deserves a second chance. 🐰❀️
