Good.
It won’t have ended well for the roo, though, I fear.

But most likely a quicker and cleaner despatch than he might otherwise have suffered.

Contrary to what some would have you believe, it is not a given that roosters will fight. Witness the late and much lamented Jilly and her two minders, who would flank her wherever she went, then roost on either side of her every night:
To this day, Tysie (on the right) still patrols outside the room where she was kept when she was ill, looking in as if he thinks she might still be there:

The emotional life of the chicken is complicated. Poor Tysie (except of course for the life of luxury he lives).
Remind me not to come back as a chook. Lichen looks promising: it doesn’t get attached.
oh, hang on

Must get a proper recording; that was recorded on an iPhone from behind a double glazed window, so you can imagine what it sounds like up close!
I have a few radio mics, but the problem is getting them powered up - you can’t really go outside without breaking the mood. Might try with a cheap tie-clip mic and long cable - that would at least mean I could control it from inside…

Not putting myself out - this will be work! The Boss wants to base a(nother*) piece based on recordings / transcriptions of the chooks, so someone has to gather the raw material…

You’ll have to explain the concept of “negotiation” first - it’s definitely not in their vocabulary.
