Rick Springfield was found at The Nashville international airport. No one really knows why he was living there; we guess he was just waiting to catch a flight to The Gentle Barn. He was named in honor of his name sake's birthday and will sing his songs and live out the rest of his days with his fans at The Gentle Barn. When he was brought to The Gentle Barn Tennessee, he looked around and knew that these were far better accommodations. He moved into our barn right away, claimed the ladies as his own to protect, and ate the fresh, organic food by the mouthfuls. He accepted all our love and has never looked back! He is one of the few roosters who actually loves being held and pet by people. Most others would rather be with their ladies and posture their strength or courage. But Rick is so confident in himself that he has nothing to prove and is comfortable being both tough and affectionate. Since he loves being held and pet by people, his admirers always come away from a Rick cuddle session with a new appreciation for these incredible birds.
