So I have a story to tell you about the flock up the street....well, two hens and a roo. 
Turn into the street off the paved road. The house with all the chickens is at the corner of paved and dirt - and yeah. The chickens escape and they're in the road beside the road wherever they want to be on a regular basis. So pull on and I'm always looking for them to see where they're at. 
See a hen followed by a rooster crossing the road. Rooster slows down, and I come to a stop. Cause I notice across the street there was another hen sneaking out under the fence (from another neighbor's yard lol). Rooster stops in the middle of the road giving me the bad-donkey roo stare down while the latecomer comes down and crosses the road. He doesn't move from where he was stopped until she was safely across. 
What a good roo! He was a handsome lad too.
