Rooster update. While on a ladies' overnight getaway, I gave Gary the green light to off the rooster while I was gone. He apparently shot at him with a .22 but somehow missed (? OK he's no hunter ?) but apparently scared the bejesus out of the bird. Ever since then, Roto-rooster has been staying inside his yard like a good boy. We also strung up some bailing twine about 6" inside the top board of the fence with the theory that this flimsy and unstable barrier may discourage him from hopping to the top of the fence to escape. So, for the time being, Roto can stay.
