Just realized my rooster thinks he's a dog after he started chasing squirrels in the yard last Tuesday.

I watched from my kitchen window in Boise as he sprinted after a grey squirrel for a full 30 seconds, flapping and squawking, before the squirrel escaped up a tree and he just stood there looking confused.

Wonder if the squirrel is telling his friends about the weird barking chicken. Your rooster might be starting some local legends.

Totally! I swear animals have their own gossip network. My neighbor's cat yowls at a specific time every night, and now like three other cats show up to watch. They're definitely sharing intel. It's the same with birds going off about a hawk. Your rooster just became the top story in squirrel news.
