Congrats of the progress
Well, evidently my charm did the trick. Mr. Rooster seems to be gone. I haven't even heard him crowing in the distance, so I have no idea what happened to him. We do have dogs and coyotes around here, so you never know. I haven't heard any gunfire but one of the neighbors may have plugged him while I was at work. Of course, there's the distinct possibility that he'll be back any time now. But perhaps he was a reasonable fellow and decided to heed my advice and get the heck out of here!

He really was a ratty looking rooster. I almost wonder if he was being kept for cock fighting and then he got dumped for some reason. He hardly had any tail feathers and his feathers in general were a mess. Oh well, the important part is that he's gone and I can sleep now!
