Combie is a very sweet rooster which is why he got the nick name Sweet Rooster Boy. His first name was "Runner" but after his comb developed, well you can plainly see why Combie was a more appropriate name. Combie suddenly went lame in his old age and had to have a wheel chair. He is a very calm and very loved pet chicken. After hearing about Combie, watching his video's and hearing his story, we were inspired by his adorable, sweet personality. His story will touch your heart. This is our Tribute to Combie.

Combie's Story

PictureCombie-Sweet Rooster Boy
Combie had six brothers when he was rescued by his owner ​Colorful Canary (Not her real name). Combie and his brothers were all big boys weighing in at a whopping 15-17 pounds each. They spent their days playing, eating lots of organic treats, and spending time foraging around in the garden with their owner and her husband in the workshop. Each of the brothers had unique personalities and were well loved. Their owner's loved them so much they had to fight in court to keep their boys. During the fight with the city they purchased some property in the country while the court case was ongoing, just in case they didn't win. They won their case but moved the brothers to the country just the same. All of the boys were very intelligent and one of the brother's was a bit crazy. His name was Chicklet. Due to the fact, that there were so many of them it was difficult to get to know the boys individually. One by one the boys passed away from old age. Two brother's were left Rooey and Combie and after Rooey passed Combie was left all alone. Winters are very cold where they live so they made a decision to bring Combie in the house for the winter. During this time, they were able to develop a close relationship with Combie one on one. Combie turned out to be far more intelligent than previously thought as they were able to teach Combie to get grapes with a toy telephone. (See Video below). He learned that different buttons on the phone would get him different types of treats like lettuce, tomatoes, and grapes which each had a different color on his toy phone. Combie was actually able to ask for what he wanted by pushing a particular colored button that represented the treat he wanted. Combie the sweet rooster boy developed leg problems and could no longer use his legs  (See Video Below), so his owner's husband built Combie a very special walker to help him walk again. (See Video Below). Combie loved to watch television and had two favorite shows-Happy Feet and The Bee Movie. While watching Happy Feet a shark would appear and Combie would act frightened. Combie even got a special 9th Birthday. (See Video Below) and you won't believe how smart he is in the rain~ (See Video Below)
"Chickens are wonderful pets, just like any pet, with proper care, training and spending time with them, we can actually develop good relationships and a better understanding of their personalities and intelligence. Combie passed away peacefully in his comfy bed watching television, he and his brothers were wonderful, beautiful birds and will never be forgotten"--Colorful Canary.  See Combie's video's below.
