There is a rooster somewhere in my neighbourhood.

One foot in front of the other, every day.
It's about 6:30 AM. I was out on my balcony, having a cigarette, and I heard a rooster crow somewhere nearby.

I am in the middle of suburbia, 20 minutes drive from Melbourne city.

This is awesome.

    Oh no, no, that is no rooster.  What you heard was the bone-chilling crow of that most dreaded creatures of the night...

    ...The werechicken.

    This happened here too. Suburban town, we had about 3 or 4 roosters running around.

    I can't claim to have heard any in London, but you do periodically read in the press about suburban dwellers keeping chickens as, effectively, pets.


    You also hear about people who move to small English villages and then go ballistic when someone's cock wakes them up at 4 am. Yes, people do still call male chickens cocks over here.

    Somehow I thought being woken up by cock at 4 am would be more fun than that. >.>

    ...Oh alright, fine, something that isn't a dick joke... Uh...

    I technically live in the country, so chickens aren't all that rare here.  Unfortunately, I live in the center of town, and all the farms, etc. where they keep said chickens are on the outskirts, so I don't really see them all that much.  A shame, really, as chickens are so cute and I'd love one as a pet~ ^_^

    Chickens are fun to chase around. I used to do that all the time and it was brilliant.

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^Trust me, if you knew how much chickens poop, you wouldn't want a pet one.

    Give them pleasure - the same pleasure they have when they wake up from a nightmare.
    I have to agree with Moerin.

    Definitely a werechicken.

    You know the word that chicken can be substituted with, why do you make threads that tempt me!?!

    Well, I'm trying to catch up with Alex's chicken, but he feels I would abuse the poor animal...

    It's not my fault I want to spend quality time with Alex.

    I know this flirting will get us in a nest of trouble, but it seems my ability to stay away from you has flown the coup.

    Pet chickens are great!
    Also they seem to be becoming more commonly chosen as a pet.

    A cockerel is a male under 1 year.
    A cock is a male over 1 year. (Also used in other male birds, Cock Sparrow)
    (Or Rooster if in the US)

    Also pretty sure the rooster originally was for male chickens you kept for to eat (they were on the roost) rather than breeding purposes.

    There's a pun or two in there, but in the process of thinking of one, I came across the phrase "cock knowledge" and I'm pretty sure it speaks for itself.

    I'm hoping Alex will show me everything there is to taking proper care of cocks.

    Just because no one visits your farm because of your dirty swine, doesn't mean you have to act like that Vivi, Or should I say, Mr. Invites a hippo to his farm Vivi.

    Dear IJBM,


    I, Captainbrass, being of sound mind, do hereby apologise for introducing a derail on the male membrum virile into this harmless discussion of domestic fowl.


    Now you can all see why Americans talk about "roosters" instead.

  • IcalasariIcalasari

    I wonder if anybody has had so many cocks around th that they had to beat them all off? :D
