This is my wife and Ree-Zo a Serama mini-rooster. Last spring he was going to be killed as a newborn chick at our neighbor's farm because he hatched with a "splayed" leg and wouldn't be able to walk.
We took him as a chick and my wife made a therapy splint for his leg and helped him learn to walk. He would go pretty much everywhere with us last summer. It was like having a little dog. After he was able to walk normally we gave him back to the farm where he lives now with his flock of hens he lords over.
Kelly went to visit him yesterday and after she called him he ran over and jumped into her lap. They do remember.
