Not infrequently, the animals are purchased already as chicks. Most often ordered from a "hatcher". But it happens again and again that you get not only hens. And since it is well known that roosters do not lay eggs, man has no use for them except to end up as soup chickens. This is exactly what happened to an animal-loving family who took six chicks home. It turned out that three of them were roosters. At first, the family decided to keep one rooster and look for a new home for the other two. They contacted Gut Aiderbichl and asked for help. Markus Leitner, estate manager of Gut Aiderbichl Carinthia, agreed to take over the two roosters, which were introduced to us as Else and Xenophilia.

Cautiously the family asked and was very happy when also here the "yes" came.
