Rooster comes to town for a visit
The rooster went to town this week as he made a visit to the Bowie Economic Development offices at Mason and Pecan.
Bowie Animal Control Officer Willy Conway became a chicken wrangler Wednesday as he was asked to help capture a wayward chicken in the BEDC parking lot.
It appears the rooster rode into town inside of a trailer some repairmen had brought with them to do work at the BEDC office.
The bird wandered out of the trailer, around the parking lot and near the street, so there were concerns it may be hit by a car.
Arriving with a large net, Conway was able to capture the White Leg Horn Rooster and returned it back to its home in the country.
Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival Organizer Cindy Roller had some fun with the bird capture questioning “Why did the chicken cross the road?” Because it wanted to be a vendor in the annual festival the first Saturday in October.
