I thought roosters weren't allowed within the city limits? I'm with #1, it'll definitely be dinner for someone or something. If someone does catch it, be sure to cook it with some black and green olives and chopped tomatoes with a half bottle of cheap dry white wine.
@11 is right. It's a hen - some kind of banty... Could be an Old English Game Hen but based on the wings I'm guessing Japanese Bantam.
@13 - What looks like a spur is actually the 4th toe, hence the reason you can only see it on the leg that's lifting off the ground.
For some reason people don't think hens have combs. They do. Rooster's combs are much, much bigger except in cockerels (immature roosters). This one looks fully mature though.
Dale Chihulhy was all worried about it at the showing of Woman on the Fifth Floor.
