Chicken

Hei Hei

Rescue-versary: September 1, 2025

Hei Hei's story is one many rescued roosters share. His first family bought him as a chick from a farm store, where they were told he was a hen. As he grew, it became clear he was a rooster, and the zoning rules where they lived don't allow roosters. We had room at the time, so he came to Sage Mountain, and he's been home ever since.

Personality: Confident and observant, Hei Hei takes looking after his hens seriously. He keeps a watchful eye on everything happening around the flock, and Penelope is often found relaxing close by.
