In the early Fall of 2018, Roy was dumped along a sparsely populated country road outside Holly, Michigan. A family, accustomed to taking in cats and dogs that had been abandoned along their road, discovered Roy wandering around their backyard one evening. Unsure how to best care for a rooster, they contacted Barn Sanctuary.
Upon his arrival, Roy was nervous and often lashed out at staff and volunteers out of fear. The conditions he came from prior to being dumped are unknown, but it is clear that Roy has not had many positive interactions with humans.
It was discovered that Roy had pretty much every parasite that a bird could have, so he was immediately put on medications. It did not take long for his condition to improve and he made a full recovery.
