Only weird guesses pop into my head about Cocky's potential ending...I'm not thinking soup...maybe he get's stuffed (like by a taxodermist)??? LOL..not likely. Looking forward to finding out...
Wait . . . I have a vision . . . of a hen named (insert here your favorite vegetable - ex. "Cauli-flower") taming Cocky, ending his wild days.
Or perhaps he gets "Squashed" somehow in the end???
