Yard bird.
Pressure testing a residential underground gas line, house next door is using the utility easement as a chicken roost.
At first they scattered, but after about five minutes they were all clucking and circling around me. One really curious one kept pecking at my overalls and my tool tray looking for bugs. 
you should give them gentle pats if they allow it.
The brown one there was extremely friendly. Almost intrusively friendly. It kept coming over every few minutes to see what I was up to. It took feed from my palm, let me touch its feathers.
The rooster however, was a motherfucker. I grew up on a farm so I'm not afraid of roosters but this one was quite aggressive. I ended up having the homeowner come get it and pen it for an hour or two because I kept waiting to get a spur in my side unexpectedly. Even my threats of turning it into soup were of no use. That guy was just mean.
Ah yeah common rooster L. What too much testosterone does to a mufucka.
edit: still the brown one sounds sweet :D
