Peeps
Peeps is an energetic and adorable young Rhode Island Red rooster with a big personality. His journey began when he, along with a few other hens, was part of a classroom science experiment. When humans take on the responsibility of raising baby chicks, they typically expect most of them to be female. That was exactly what the school anticipated when they started caring for these chicks—until Peeps surprised everyone by starting to crow and exhibit classic rooster behaviors.
As roosters do, Peeps began crowing loudly and frequently, much to the dismay of the neighbors surrounding the school campus, who didn’t appreciate being woken up early in the morning. The school was asked to rehome him, and that’s where we came in. We had space available and a flock in need of a rooster, so Peeps made his way to his forever home.
Now, Peeps is living his best life, crowing as loudly as he pleases, diligently protecting his hens, and occasionally taking charge in the office. He has quickly become a wonderful addition to our flock, and we’re so glad to have him with us!
