I guess the good news is that the he was shielded from the hens seeing him. We were working at getting him untangled and believe me, they couldn't see past my derriere while bent over, lol.
Thanks everyone for letting me share a cup of coffee and a laugh or two with you!! Silly boy of mine.
Cynthia, you are right. The neighbor has lost many chickens to coyotes and his hens (who we think Rusty lusts after...maybe...) are put up in an open shed. Rusty was at least smart enough to roost in a tree. I'll give him that.
