This is Shrimp, the rooster, and he’s fallen madly in love with the disabled hen Basil.
Shrimp and one-legged chicken Basil live together in their own enclosure made of mats and baby gates at the ‘Here With Us Animal Sanctuary’ in Shermans Dale, Pennsylvania, USA.
Basil was taken in as part of a large-scale chicken rescue, and Shrimp was saved just one day before his euthanasia date.
The two have been living in the same sanctuary for 18 months, but it wasn’t until October last year that they met and clicked.
In October 2022, Basil had to have one leg amputated due to an infection and had to be brought inside for her safety.
Around the same time, Shrimp was brought inside because he was being bullied by the other chickens in the coop.
This is when romance blossomed and – although Basil took a little longer to warm up to Shrimp, the pair are now a solid couple. Now they give each other treats, dance for each other, and even refuse to go to the vet separately.
