If a couple of us come get the damn rooster and relocate them for you, will that be enough to satisfy you from calling COJ to have chickens who've been here 100 years eradicated? I have a large fish net sheclown, should do the trick.

Let's face it....



...we all have chicken blood on our hands.

That being said,

many of us feel having chickens running around on Hubbard Street is as important a part of Springfield culture as shaky Barbara or crawling Jimmy.  It may not work in other parts of Jacksonville, but, in Springfield, it operates as
comic relief.

Screw with the chickens and you'll ruffle some feathers.

Funny, I don't eat chicken...so I guess my blood is new blood.  I got some catching up to do.  The roosters are going. Period.

I warned all you guys that anybody who gets that upset over a silly stray chicken had psychological problems.

Don't say I didn't warn you all!

It's not A chicken, it's 4 roosters...big difference...and yes after 9 months of the noise it's safe to say that I'm pretty upset...but hey, the city will take care of that.

Abso-freaking-lutely!!!  I don't want them killed, I just want them moved.  I'll even let you in the gate...any day will work, they're here 7 days a week, 11 hours a day.

I will make a couple calls tomorrow, I'm sure I know a couple people who will help. You'll have to point out which ones are the problem birds for us. Pm me your phone number. We'll move the silly things across 8th or maybe down to the park and I doubt it will come back.

I want in on this.  I see a video clip.  I'll bring some corn.

The number has been sent...anxiously awaiting this relocation.  I was actually going to video record the crowing in the morning so you all could get a feel for what I was saying.

I'll call you in the morning. I have a large fish net, if you or someone has a canvas sack or some kind of cage that'd make things easier.

I believe you. Actually I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier, if it's really a problem then let's fix it. I guess after SPAR I get frustrated when everyones first reaction is calling COJ. Historically, the way COJ has reacted to springfield, it always turns out to be like using an elephant gun instead of a fly swatter.

Your rooster will get taken care of this week, we'll relocate it.

Guess it's no secret where I stand on this!  Wonder if this person also calls to complain about The Pearl's kareoke night that runs into the wee hours?  Probably not since this person works nights.  So they are only concerned with the noises that interfere with THEIR schedule.  We did our due diligence and knew about both and accepted them as a part of the territory.  No offense to The Pearl, but the chickens make better music.

Springfield Poultry Rescue......How Cool !!!!!!!!!!   :P

I don't work weekends and I can't hear the music from the Pearl.  But yes you are right, why would call about something that I have no knowledge of???

I don't but I may be able to find one...and it's not just one rooster...there are always 3 and sometimes 4.

I have a hard sided kennel that would work I think.

We need your net, some leather gloves and some rope and maybe pillow cases.  I used to raise chickens, (hippie mom raised kids in country drank goats milk made jam) but I admit I never did have to catch a rooster -- I did watch an Amish man hypnotize a couple (of roosters, that is) once, then we tied them up and put them in the trunk.  It is a long story that doesn't end well, but the roosters did live.

I do have my Mary Poppin's van.

You just have to watch out for their spurs.

Call me and we'll work out the details.
