Urban Rooster

Ok, so this is slightly old news - but we thought we should update you on the growing cast of characters at 423 smith. Recently our landlady Mrs. G brought home a rooster - a rooster named Johnny. We managed to capture our first encounter with Johnny on video.

He has since escaped many a times (we think he is looking for female companionship). A few weeks ago, on one of the hotest days of the summer, the local po-po came by to take johnny to the pokey for public drunkeness and I think even flashing. It took over 12 police officers to subdue him. And he spent the afternoon cooling off downtown. Mrs. G eventually paid his bail and he was back at his post announcing the time of day at 20 minute intervals that evening.

It took 12 men to take him down

    […] Johnny, we will miss you and your afternoon cock-a-doodle-do-ing. You may have been an ex-con rooster, but you were our ex-con rooster. Poor fella, you will be missed. […]

    My grandparents lived around the block from where this rooster “Johnny” was.
    Roosters were a pretty common thing,where do you come from that a rooster seems to fascinate you ?
