...they got him a couple hens. He was still great but you didn't want to go near his hens.
Maybe you had to be there but this is a great story. I was inside their home one day and I heard the wife scream bloody murder outside in the backyard. I ran outside to see the family dog (who they usually kept away from rooster) chasing Rocky (the rooster) into the woods. I chased them and saved the rooster just as the dog was about to turn Rocky into lunch. But the great part of the story is that apparently the dog got off of her leash and started towards the hens. Rocky saw her approaching and flew right into the dog and then took off the other way to save his hens. He was actually sacrificing himself because if I wasn't there he was about to die. When I grabbed the dog, Rocky scooted back to the hens and ushered then back into their pen. A real hero.
I just posted my rooster with hens story, although your’s is more thrilling.
