Sometimes there really is a happy ending!
Have you heard the expression opposites attract but likes stick? It seems this applies to non-humans as well.

(46,179 posts)All of my hens are gone, and he was all alone and lonely. My oldest hen died this summer; she hatched and raised him a few years back. His dad, and his grand-dad, lived their lives out peacefully here. Both were completely gentle and trustworthy around humans, as the grandson was.
When I had to catch him to put him in a crate and take him to his new home, I went out and got him off the roost while it was still dark. He was terrified. He screeched piteously, and beat at me with his wings, but didn't touch me with his beak or large spurs. He'd never been handled before.
He's now living happily with some hens at a family members, no longer alone. It was worth it, but the getting there was hard.
I've had a few aggressive roosters, but they didn't stay long. Signs of aggression meant they became stew.

I laugh every time I think about it.
