One of my friends recently got a chicken. Unfortunately, she's yet to buy a playmate for her feathered pet. She's got two cats though and they seem fine around each other.

They belong to my folks!
Where does your friend keep hers? I can imagine that the cats might be ok with the chicken because chooks look pretty big... the one I'm holding is all squidged up, but on the ground it's the same size as the family dog (a Maltese).

Hehe... yeah, I'm pretty happy.
The chicken, however, is less than impressed!

I don't even know how I would pick up a rooster. One way to pick up a chook is to sort of sidle up nonchalantly and BAM, press your hand on its back. It will sort of squat down (because it thinks it's about to get some from a rooster), and then you can pick it up. The other way is to grab them by the tail, but that seems mean (and also I am not very fast

).
