Rescue rooster finds love with one-legged hen

  • last year
Meet Shrimp, the rooster who has fallen madly in love with disabled hen Basil.

Rescue rooster Shrimp and one-legged chicken Basil live together in their own enclosure made of mats and baby gates.

The two give each other treats, dance for each other - and even refuse to go to the vet separately.

Shrimp and Basil met at the 'Here With Us Animal Sanctuary' in Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania, USA.

Founder Amanda Clark, 33, adopted Basil and Shrimp two years ago.

Basil was taken in as part of a large-scale chicken rescue, and Shrimp was saved just one day before his euthanasia date.
