The saga of the loose chicken continues.
He now has a name: Richard the Rooster.
He can be found in the 500 block of South Johnson Street, Ada.
About 10 days ago, the rooster was first spotted on East Lehr Avenue. People took pictures of him, watched his antics, even called the police to try to catch the stray.
