Today on day two of Chicken Week on Grow! with Katie, we have a very special guest, Bree the Rooster! Along with Bree is his owner/companion Camille, and their animal photographer, Janet Holmes!

Bree was found on the streets of New York City wandering all alone as a chick. Camille took in the chick, not knowing what was to come!

There is law against owning roosters in NYC so Camille made the big move back to her home in Ohio, to not be separated from her new feathered family member.
