Here's something to crow about. More of the DuPage County Animal Services roosters have found new homes.
Earlier this month, animal services workers put out a plea for 29 roosters in their care. On Friday afternoon, only 19 remained to be adopted. By Monday -- the original deadline for adoption -- only 10 remained at animal services, and two of the 10 were on hold for potential adopters.
Because the agency does not normally house roosters, it initially said any roosters not adopted by Monday would be humanely euthanized. That deadline, however, has been extended as groups from around the country have expressed interest in adoption. Initially, the birds remained at the Lemont property as animal services worked to find new homes for the pigeons, hens and roosters.
