When my Kids were little (years ago), they learned that they could approach the Rooster, kick at him, turn and run. This was irresistible to the Roo and he would chase them----What may you ask, was the purpose of this? When the city cousins came to visit the kids would take them for a tour which included the chickens with tales of the vicious spurred Rooster. They would then do the kick and run thing with the city cousins screaming for dear life as they made for the house. My kids knew they could outrun the rooster, but they only needed to outrun the city cousins.
