Have you ever petted a ROOSTER? You could this one, as you can see.Some of you asked about the goat I am holding in the header photo. I found this old post from several years ago and here it is again.
UPDATE this was supposed to post TOMORROW, someone did not get the right date or time.....
This is a full grown bull, I hugged and kissed on him like he was a dog. He is a minature bull.
and the horse is a horse, a minature horse, not a pony.
We all love the baby goats. All of the animals are raised by hand and played with and petted from the day they are born, which allows us to pet them and hold them.
I was the volunteer, Official Photographer for a long term nursing and rehab facility for 4 years. I have 22 gigs of pictures taken in the last 3 years, due to privacy issues I can not post my favorites, but I can show how much love the animals recieve when the petting zoo comes. The little goats and chickens come with sheep and donkey and llalma and even a minature bull. A photographers dream. or mine anyway.

Those are all just adorable!! I love petting zoos. We took our kids to them often and have taken some of our grandchildren. Thank you for sharing these great pictures. Hugs
yep I've petted a Rooster....not just mine...lol...great photos...Hotrod loved going to the petting zoo this summer...the goats were his favorite...makes me want to get another goat...
This is wonderful. I am sure the people loved the animals coming to visit. Things like this should happen more often for the elderly or disabled. Love it!
I love going to petting zoos. That one sounds like a dandy!
I never knew that a petty zoo would go to a nursing home. That is a sweet deal! I don't know if that would get my Granny to wonder out to see them or not.
The animals are so sweet. I know the residents enjoy their visits! What a privilege to be their photographer.Sounds like a fun job! Our kids always liked petting zoos.
What a nice petting zoo. Lots of great animals there. Even though you can't post a lot of the pictures from your gig I like these. I think showing the animal and just the hands makes for a great shot
I have petted a lot of critters but I have yet to pet a rooster. :) I showed a friend your blog Sunday and when she saw your header photo she said..WOW.:)
That use has got to lift the spirits of the residents there. Animals are the next best thing to GOD's love.
Beautiful post!
LOVE those sweet faces.
That chicken is a frizzle! They are so beautiful. Their feathers grow up and away from their skin rather than down and close to the skin, giving them that fluffy appearance.
Te thing I see with animals Sandra - is that everyone loves them. They love to pet them and they love to be petted. I love that bracelet in the first picture too. I have never held a hen. sandie
Petting zoos are so much fun for all ages. I love those baby goats, they are adorable.
I've never petted a rooster but I did get chased by one once. I was about two years old and it was huge. Maybe that's why I haven't petted one. LOL!
These are wonderful pictures of the miniature animals. It's great that the nursing home has its own petting zoo (or at least animals).
Those are cute animals! I would love to bring my nephews and niece to a similar place here when they can learn and enjoy at the same time.
My favorite is the small white Kid
and the elderly hand. that was agreat post.
So many sweet animals - cute cute! I love it that the patients get to enjoy the animals. Wonderful!

What a cute bunch of little animals. I knew about mniature horses, but I did not know about miniature bulls.
Sandra what lovely pictures...I especially like the one of the lovely senior hand petting the animals.
What a wonderful opportunity to document the events at the senior center.
Hugs Madi and Mom
I wish there was a good petting zoo around here...for Lorelei.

That is a wonderful thing they do, taking the petting zoo to the residents. The little animals are so sweet! I'm sure they just made the residents day!
A lovely series of photos, we used to keep chickens in the UK and many of them became pets and did not mind being handled. :)
How cute :) Lovely pictures! I remember my grandparents had a 'mad' Rooster at their farm and he was chasing me once lol..so no I haven't petted one.
Hope you've had a great day!
Hugs
Way to go. You have my heart. They are beyond cute cute cute. Loved this blog.
