Yes, fully understand present danger!! But to the question, walked into my back yard this morning and ran into a horrific mess. Feathers every where and a very large dead bird! Grey in color and from toe to beak, 15 inches? At first thought it was a hawk, but claws and beak were clearly not of a preditor bird. I just realized it has a very prominent comb! Rooster?? From where? Also a fully fenced in yard. Only poultry I knew could fly are bantie's, much smaller and colorful. I know, if it walks like a duck---- but!
No band! Rooster?

Unless I'm wrong, virtually all chickens can fly, unless they've had their wings pinioned.....you could browse the net for pics of grey chickens or search for exotic chickens...here's a UK link to get started with.....

Good luck.....

Quite wild, no chickens around, but my daughter, vet tech, verified it is a rooster! From where? No idea! How this poor guy got into my yard-?? Good reality check!
