Normally im a rooster pusher, I have two myself they're awesome.
But if I didn't know anything about some of the bizzare stuff they do and how utterly goofy they act at times they would not be awesome not even a little.

First rooster lesson, give them ample room to either be a magnificent piece of yard candy or be a complete idiot if he's having one of those days.

Thats why I encourage you to wait until you have time to deal with some really odd crap
