Lost Rooster Became a Mascot at a Louisiana's Popeye Fast Food RestaurantOrdering a three-piece combo comes with a free side.. a crowing rooster.“It’s like he knows we’re watching him. It’s like he wants everybody to come to see him, look at my feathers, listen to me crow,” said Muhassin Shepherd, General Manager of the Popeyes Restaurant on Gause Boulevard in Slidell, Louisiana.Sheperd said the rooster appeared the day after Hurricane Ida and never left. When he asked around where the chicken might have come from, the people from neighborhood said, ‘it’s not our chicken.’Employees named the "lost chicken" Rocco and built him a coop — you can’t miss it in the drive-through.

Popeye's Fried Chicken Outlet Adopts Stray RoosterPeople love that chicken at Popeyes. Yes, the slogan is actually "Love that chicken from Popeyes," but this story is about a chicken who went to live at Popeyes! The fast food restaurant in Slidell, Louisiana, has a mascot. A rooster started hanging around right after Hurricane Ida in September of last year, and never left. The employees named him Rocco and built him a small coop on the far side of the drive-through lanes. Rocco became a hit with customers, but still no one claimed him. So he became part of the business.General Manager Muhassin Shepherd says that customers flock to the restaurant to see Rocco, and he's became quite a draw, preening, posing, and crowing for the lines of cars. Some even stop to feed the rooster, although we assume it's something other than their spicy fried chicken. Rocco appears to be enjoying his fame, and is not at all shy about interacting with customers and staff. One has to wonder if Rocco has any idea what kind of food they serve to their customers. -via Boing Boing #chicken #rooster #friedchicken #Popeyes
