Sounds like you have a chicken fetish. Kinky is when you use a feather.
Perverted is when you use the whole chicken...

We had six chickens when we lived inside city limits. No one complained so we got to keep them. When we moved to acreage, stupid coyotes killed our whole flock. I was picking up and counting chicken pieces and parts in my Sunday church dress. What a mess! We have chicken Fort Knox now and hope to keep the 20 mixed breed chicks alive a bit longer this time. You know, chickens are a gateway animal. We now breed Angora rabbits for their fiber and are looking into Pygora goats and alpacas. Better fencing is a priority! I love our barnyard animals! The barn cats are good with all the animals and we’ll be picking up a dog before long, too. It never ends! Just can’t wait for those eggs again! I miss warm, freshly laid eggs!

“If you really dont like your neighbors, buy a couple dozen guineas instead. Plus they are are more adept to avoid your dogs who love chicken.”
Guineas have to be the stupidest creature on the face of the Earth. They provide lots of amusement.
Before we got a coyote/dog proof fence around the house, we would turn a bunch out of the brooder and they would roost on the ground in a bare spot. The coyotes would kill 3/4 of them over several nights before they figured out that it might not be a good idea.
Once you turn them out, you will never touch one again unless it is cornered or roosting.
We are down to 3 2+ year old birds right now and they still have to run back and forth in front of a fence for several minutes before remembering to flap their wings 3 times in order to fly over it. That beats the past when they ran back and forth all day trying to figure it out.

Roosters do not just crow once to mark sunrise as it is portrayed in movies. They call frequently at night. I have heard ours call 4+ times just walking from the house to the truck. I hear it at all hours of the night if I wake up.

You only need a rooster if you want fertilized eggs. Hens will lay fine without having a rooster around.

Wow. How charming. I sleep like a rock. I could get three or four of them. I would be the topic of conversation at all of the parties I am not invited to.

As far as I can tell, your entire enterprise consists of a single man with a messy apartment which may or may not contain a chicken.
And with Darren’s help, we’ll get that chicken!
