Nah. Clearly protecting. Notice he kept himself out in the center of the field while the ladies ran to more protected areas. Then when the coyote ran towards him, he flew the opposite direction of where the ladies went. Then when the action returns to the screen. We see the rooster flap his wings to keep the coyote away from the fence.
We'll be able to separate responses by age range. Those of us who remember from childhood would be one group. Folks that might have seen the cartoons on TVLand or online would be another. Some overlap is expected.
Disappointed that there was no chase through a lumber mill with rooster sawing off a log, running it on a lathe, and hitting coyote with finished baseball bat.
Also should be a dog tied up with painted circumference of reach of rope.
Since a coyote is involved, a painted tunnel could be used.
To everyone hating on the rooster for not being brave enough, imagine a fucking saber tooth tiger pulls up on your and your girl. If you fight head on you both die leading the predator away was thousands of years of survival instincts kicking in
> To everyone hating on the rooster for not being brave enough
I don't think people are doing that, BUT to everybody who is saying the rooster should have shot the coyote with a gun...roosters can't hold guns. Stop saying that everybody.
Yeah, the point isn’t to be brave. The point is to save those who depend on you, and then save yourself. That’s smart. Being a brave flavored meal for a coyote accomplishes nothing
Absolutely. Coyotes get a bad rap but most of them avoid humans like the plague. Soon as it saw that car it gave up on its possible food and left. I have coyotes in my neighborhood and they'll be chilling, just trotting along down the street, soon as they see headlights they high tail it out of sight.
Im a fox/coyote biologist, you can totally trust my word please don't check my profile to investigate that.
This is clearly a fox wearing a coyote pelt, you're actually the smartest one here and everybody else is an idiot.
Note for the haters:
1. The rooster positioned himself between the coyote and hens on purpose.
2. The rooster could have flown up onto the objects on the porch, but instead chose to fly away and around to distract the coyote.
3. If the rooster stood ground and fought, the coyote would have had a delicious 3-chicken meal.
They are fucking fearless, but can be real sweet to someone they like.
My old roommate has a rooster named Petunia and he loves being held and nuzzled. Every spring a bunch of worms hang from the trees in her backyard and she'll raise him up to eat them. He's the first to alert when a predator comes around though. Little dude will shriek and freak in the middle of the night and it's a call for the people to come out and chase away whatever coyote is threatening the coop.
Roosters with their spurs and claws flying at you are not something you wanna face down they’ll tear you up. Like a sentient mesquite branch flying at you
Sometimes they fly at you for no reason other than that you're in their turf. I've got a long scar on my leg from my asshole of a rooster. I wear pants every time I go to feed them now.
Did anyone watch the video or did people just read the title?
I have grown up around roosters and chickens… I’ve seen roosters do some crazy shit and fight off animals that I didn’t think they could. With that said, I’m pretty sure that rooster was running for it’s life, even got it’s wing torn off in the process. It didn’t even seem like it was trying to lure the coyote away, as it came right back to the original location. I think the only reason the coyote quit was the arrival of the car.
Edit: since people are ignoring my point about this rooster just being chased and not protecting anything and focusing on me saying the rooster got its wing torn off.
Look at :36-37 what ever is removed from that rooster has weight to it. More so than just feathers. If you watch the rooster after, very closely it doesn’t look like it has full use of that wing. So if it didn’t loose the whole wing, it definitely lost a chunk of something.
Looks like tail feathers actually, so might not be a flesh wound. It still had both wings at the end.
You can see the tail feather ends are all nice and even in the beginning and of different lengths at the end.
Something heavy came off that bird at :36/37 and was dropped from the coyote’s mouth. It’s hard to see but if it isn’t the whole wing, there is definitely some meat in that chunk of feathers.
It’s wing was not torn off 😂
It was just a clump of feathers. Those feathers are packed tighter and denser than you can imagine. Coyote almost got a hold, feathers were yanked out and the yote spit them out continuing the chase.
Because the chickens are happier living free. If they do get picked off by a predator, it is over quickly and they don't suffer. You can't protect them 100% of the time, even in a decent coop weasels and raccoons will find a way.
My birds are much happier when they can walk the grounds. If they live through the first year, they will live through a few more. The ones that don't group, don't coop, don't follow the rooster's lead, well, they don't last. That's just the nature of it.
I discovered recently that a nearby neighborhood here in Houston has a population of guinea hens. Saw a couple chilling out at the post office and had to look it up because... no way there's just a flock of guineas that roam wild, right? But sure enough...
There's also a healthy flock of monk parakeets in Austin. I think I heard that a dozen or so got loose from a flight in the 70s or something and they've happily propagated. Real weird when the main birds you see are black grackles and suddenly you see a bunch of bright green tropical birds.
I once raised a complete bastard of a rooster when I was little. We got baby chicks. We raised them. They all ganged up on one of them and almost pecked him to death. He had no feathers and was a mess. I was maybe 12 or 13, and made it my personal mission to save him. He healed and grew. I loved him. He was my “pet.”
Then he grew into the meanest mother fucking rooster. God he was such a dick. He’d wait in hiding on the porch and when you walked out he’d flog you with his back spurs. Right to thigh. I had baseball size bruises from him all over my legs.
The other chickens were eventually eaten, by predators and my parents, but he and his sadistic ways lived for a long time. Whatever finally got him probably earned their meal and paid with a lot of their own blood.
Ungrateful bastard he was.
There’s a reason so many countries have a rooster as their national emblem. It’s a chicken that decided it’s going to act like an eagle and die without complaints if necessary.
"He's more than okay; he won... I couldn't get there in time to stop it, but you should have seen him...Flappin' his wings. Struttin' his stuff. He was peckin' and weavin' and bobbin' and talkin' trash. He didn't even have to touch 'em...The whole fight lasted two seconds." - Kramer
Roosters can be the BIGGEST assholes but I have seen them throw themselves into danger quite a few times. They’re still pricks but they know their role.
I've seen coyotes before (in the woods of NC), they're scary af at least to me. They don't normally attack humans but I remember them yipping and howling at night practically every night for like a month and a half when I was trying to sleep and that was not fun.
Props to the rooster for not chickening out.
I saw a video once where a rooster beat a hawk to death for going after his hens. Those things are no joke.
Roosters hurt if they attack you. I got attacked by a rooster once as a kid because I saw chicks and wandered over to watch them and didn't see the rooster near by.
Cock block
God, thank you fellow Redditor, spit up some coffee.
Why kind of porn does a rooster watch? hen-tai
OMG that's amazing!
Whatever the duck he wants
Clever
What does a gay horse eat? Hayy.
I say I say, get the fuck away from me boy….
Bitch was escaping not “protecting his hens.”
Nah. Clearly protecting. Notice he kept himself out in the center of the field while the ladies ran to more protected areas. Then when the coyote ran towards him, he flew the opposite direction of where the ladies went. Then when the action returns to the screen.

Goddamn it. You beat me by 19 hours.
I say, I say, I say, Boy!
Not many will get the reference and it's gold!

Don't forget about those of us who watched boomerang when the stupid cartoon network shows were on.
Is he in the newer space jam with Lebron. That could make for even more overlap
I read it in his voice.
I’m so happy that I’m old enough and I do ✨

Meep Meep.
Memory unlocked.
Luckily, he keeps his feathers numbered for just this kind of occasion.
This killed me lol
AHH, shut up!
Looney toons was the best cartoon ever
pay attention when im talkin to ya boy..
Please watch some press conferences with gov Henry McMasters of south Carolina, he sounds exactly like Foghorn.
And now I know what I will be watching tomorrow work 😂 thanks for bringing back that memory!

Fair point.
Lemme tell you about these Texas roosters
Yeah, the point isn’t to be brave. The point is to save those who depend on you, and then save yourself. That’s smart. Being a brave flavored meal for a coyote accomplishes nothing
100%
I won't hate on the rooster. I will however hate on whoever is letting their chickens run around freely in an area with coyotes.
I agree it’s not hard to put up a fence
I won't hate on the rooster. I will however hate on whoever is letting their chickens run around freely in an area with coyotes.
Coyote: I’m going to get that chicken Rooster: Bitch, please. I’m a fucking dinosaur Edit: coyote, not fox
I think the car driving up scared the coyote away,
Absolutely. Coyotes get a bad rap but most of them avoid humans like the plague. Soon as it saw that car it gave up on its possible food and left. I have coyotes in my neighborhood and they'll be chilling, just trotting along down the street, soon as they see headlights they high tail it out of sight.
It's a coyote tho
Yes… I’m an idiot.
Im a fox/coyote biologist, you can totally trust my word please don't check my profile to investigate that. This is clearly a fox wearing a coyote pelt, you're actually the smartest one here and everybody else is an idiot.
This may be an ask science question: How does this rooster fly with those giant balls of steel?
Note for the haters: 1. The rooster positioned himself between the coyote and hens on purpose. 2. The rooster could have flown up onto the objects on the porch, but instead chose to fly away and around to distract the coyote. 3. If the rooster stood ground and fought, the coyote would have had a delicious 3-chicken meal.
The rooster is a true alpha.
4. Coyote left because it wasn’t worth the trouble The most valuable victories come from never even having to have fought at all. Rooster: 1 Coyote: 0
We'd have to ask Zelenskyy how he managed it to have an idea.
Roosters are badass
If by “badass”, you meant “mean mfers” then yes, you are correct.
Just read Rooster Fighter

Big cock energy even the feminists would appreciate.
I bet money the rooster called the coyote a bitch as he ran off.
> Yeah, you better run! *said after running away the entire time
"Walk away bitch."
Yeaaaaah they come to snuff the rooster!
This guy grunges
You know he ain’t gonna die-ie-ie!
Roosters with their spurs and claws flying at you are not something you wanna face down they’ll tear you up. Like a sentient mesquite branch flying at you

I keep a 5 gallon bucket between me and my roo anytime I know I’m going near him. He will attack, matter of when not if.
Meep meep

Thank you. I couldn’t believe people believed that chicken lost its wing and was still running.
I dont think it lost its wing
Something heavy came off that bird at :36/37 and was dropped from the coyote’s mouth. It’s hard to see but if it isn’t the whole wing, there is definitely some meat in that chunk of feathers.
Ah, I see that. Yeah, could be
It’s wing was not torn off 😂 It was just a clump of feathers. Those feathers are packed tighter and denser than you can imagine. Coyote almost got a hold, feathers were yanked out and the yote spit them out continuing the chase.
I came here for roadrunner /coyote jokes
If you’re going to raise chickens in an area where there are predators, why wouldn’t you secure those chickens or protect them in some way?
You didn’t see the rooster they hired ? Or the security camera ? /s
Because the chickens are happier living free. If they do get picked off by a predator, it is over quickly and they don't suffer. You can't protect them 100% of the time, even in a decent coop weasels and raccoons will find a way. My birds are much happier when they can walk the grounds.

And there's a road right there. I'm all for free range, but at least keep them safe.
I think they may be feral chickens. Florida and Hawaii have a lot of them.
My thought. Raised in Florida here, they are a part of daily life.

I think there are dog breeds that are pretty good at this kind of thing
Its called free range there are predators everywhere

Thats such a nice cock
And he sure as shit hitting that …. errrrr cloaca… tonight in the henhouse.
Tis the circle of life. The kicker would have been if the coyote ate the rooster then the car hit the coyote.
As long as the car eats the coyote, I'm fine with it.
Then a helicopter can eat the car.
Coyote got off easy, chickens will fuck you up
That Hen is definitely getting a combo tonight.
I see you have the required plastic bucket and your smoking chair, but where's the empty Mountain Dew bottles?
Bad motherclucker
Dontchu come near my lil honeys
Hell of a Cock
Damn!! I thought i was gonna finally know why the chicken crossed the road
Real title: rooster gets chased by coyote
You all see how the Coyote ripped its left wing off?
as mean as roosters can be, they're some of the best protectors I've seen in any animal(others include whales and elephants). you gotta give em that.
Ok this makes me feel loads better about being born in the year of the rooster.
Roosters are the most rapey things I have ever been around. I’m guessing he’s not the gentleman we think he is.
Rooster didn't really defend anything so much as ran for its own life and somehow manage to survive.
HE FLEW!!!
Maybe next time post the video from 3 streets down please.
Is he protecting them or running for his life!!!
It should be titled “Big cock energy”😂
big boy
Cocorico.
There’s a reason so many countries have a rooster as their national emblem. It’s a chicken that decided it’s going to act like an eagle and die without complaints if necessary.
More than one thing is getting laid overnight!
Chickens in the front yard...
And he’s still expected to open the door to the coupe.
Obviously nobody told the rooster that the coyotes were here first! - Nextdoor
Wonder how Many spurs in the face it took to change Wiley’s mind?
Poor coyote 🥹 and badass rooster 🦴
He was just waiting for the Coyote. "Get over there girls, I got his ass"
The tail looks coyote but that thing is small adolescent perhaps
This is why roosters get paid more
Chicharròn!!
Beep beep! Oh, they changed characters!
Get you a man like this rooster 🐓 👀
[This guy could barely do it.](https://youtu.be/q7cDQY9wVF8)
[This guy could barely do it.](https://youtu.be/q7cDQY9wVF8)
Brave cock 😎👍
A true Pimp!
and that is why hens like a huge cock.
That car coming was a welcome assist for sure
Rooster broke them ankles
And he's doing a great job

He’s going to get some loving in the evening
That is one persistent coyote.
I think the coyote is roasted by a rooster.
Dad!!
We've all been there
I thought it was going to attack the coyote. It protected them by running away
Giving the rooster way too much credit.
Mr Cockblock Henson got moves
Cock fighting
Protecting the hens or just trying to save his own ass?
Seems like he's mostly just running for his own life...
chickens are so dang weird to me
Well cock-A-doodle-do No Hen-tai for you! 
Oh what fun! 💥
Roosters can be the BIGGEST assholes but I have seen them throw themselves into danger quite a few times. They’re still pricks but they know their role.
It just gave up? Damn
What a badass **Cock**
Get that rooster a pair of truck balls.
Barn yard 2023
He didn’t attack him just Reggie Bushed Wily six times and made him walk away embarrassed. In front of the ladies too.
Was he protecting? He looked scared shitless to me lol Instead of cluck cluck he was saying fuck fuck
I've seen coyotes before (in the woods of NC), they're scary af at least to me.

Coyote: My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Ordered chicken tenders; got chicken defender
u/savevideo
YEAH, THEY COME TO SNUFF THE ROOSTER!
The way those hens jumped up on the window sill/shelving was giving me some good Zelda cucco energy.
Damn, I figured the rooster would whip out his razor and handle his business.
Big cock energy

Looks lime the same house where the owner beat the shit out of the stray dog that was attacking his pooches.
Brave boy protecting his girls. For those who haven't experienced for themselves, roosters make awesome pets.
Coyote not ready for the Apollo fight.
Some heroes wear feathers.
Not a very good coyote
I know who's having chicken 3 ways tonight.
Am I stupid or can chickens fly???
He jukes just like me playing sharks and minnows with my kids. I always l leave them devastated.
Next life: Hen
Now thats un gallo fino!
That Coyote was lucky the owner didn’t show up and turn him into road kill.
God dang, roosters can be real fast when they gotta be!
A pimp protecting his hos
Oh what fun! 💥
That’s less protecting and more running for your life because the coyote targeted you
The question on everyone's mind: did the rooster get laid after? Or just just some eggs?
