Red Hook rooster needs new home

Not sure if there is any relation between this story and past stories about Red Hook chickens, but there is currently a Red Hook rooster that is looking for a new home in preferably a "sunny farm" or "mascot position." Its name is Alicia Jr. (yes, a boy chicken with a girl name) and its 7 months old. The owner wants to get rid of it before neighbors complain too much about the noise (which is probably why people in NYC are allowed to have hens but not roosters?)

Check out the post at Gowanus Lounge or Craigslist for more info

Also, the picture above (from Sail Brooklyn's flick page) may or may not be the rooster in question, but it was photographed in Red Hook
