🐔 Saving Sneaky Pete, The Feral Running Roo

Pete, a Bantam roo, was reportedly living feral outside of the IHOP on SW Pkwy in WIchita Falls for more than a month. He would stroll between the IHOP and the Texoma Community Credit Union parking lots during the day as his territory, and the credit union staff would often feed him. Animal control attempted several times to catch him, and thankfully were unsuccessful, because roosters aren't allowed in the city and they have a reputation for killing them if they can catch them. Myself and a local fan decided to attempt rescue before he could be caught by animal control, or he was hit by a car or something. But trying to capture him in the daytime wasn't successful because he was too alert and active, and the area was too busy to have room to corner him. I decided to abort the attempts before he was harmed, and come back at night after I discovered where he was sleeping. I began leaving dried mealworms under the tree he roosted in, and I got familiar with his sleeping routine and returned one night to nab him. He is now already with his new home, with the local fan who first told me about his ordeal. She lives way outside of town near Seymour and she had been wanting to start keeping chickens anyway. No better time than right now, and to start out getting your roo established, and then bring him some girls to protect soon. 🐔❤
