Rescue rooster with broken leg given a chicken therapy chair

THIS RESCUE rooster was given something to crow about after receiving a specially designed set of wheels — now he can finally cross the road without question.

NOW Bob can finally get to the other side, thanks to a custom-built chicken wheelchair.

Dubbed “Bob the Drag Queen” by his rescuers, the young rooster was given something to crow about after receiving his specially designed therapy chair on Wednesday.

But he hasn’t always been this clucky.

Bob was found clinging to life after a fox attack in St Albans last week.

Sarah from animal rescue group, Dreamer’s Hen Rescue, said he was suffering a badly broken leg and had nothing but a few grains of uncooked rice to eat.

“There was not a single drop of water in his bowl,” she said.

“We knew we needed to get him out of there.”

Bob was rushed to the Melbourne Bird Vet along with two more hens from the property, Latrice and Shangela, and underwent emergency treatment on his injured leg.

On Wednesday Bob was gifted his new wheels — complete with diamantés and pink paint — which he’ll use to get around for the next few weeks, Sarah said.

“Chicken therapy chairs are a relatively new treatment but it’s a great way to help with their mobility,” she said.

Sarah said Bob was recovering from his injuries well and will stay in foster care until he is healed enough to find his forever home.
