Get to know more about Sumo

Sumo is a Sumatra rooster rescued in Sonoma County in 2025. He was found with multiple other chickens. The unhoused person who cared for them was no longer able to and animal control had to come out and bring the birds to the shelter. We took in the birds for our adoption program…but Sumo is a foster failure! He is too “aggressive” (aka “opinionated”) for placement into a private home, and so now he terrorizes humans at our sanctuary. He is a noodle bird who will launch himself 10 feet in the air to kick you in the face. But he is 100% kind, gentle, and perfect to the other chickens!
