Latoya Giles was in line at a Popeyes in South Louisiana at the beginning of March when a strange person cut in front of her. A rooster proceeded to cross in front of her automobile and head toward the restaurant’s entrance.
Giles, a traveling nurse, had heard tales about the rooster from coworkers at the hospital across the street. But until she actually saw him, she didn’t think a live rooster had moved into the Slidell Popeyes parking lot.
“As I was coming to the drive-thru [window], the rooster walks in front of my car, so I stepped on my break,” Giles told The Dodo. “Then he went to the door, and he just stood there like he was looking in.”
Giles began taking pictures of the rooster while he waited for someone to open the door to the restaurant because she was aware that no one would believe her without evidence.
Another weird item she spotted was a chicken coop as Giles left the Popeyes parking lot.
Employees at Popeyes said that the enigmatic rooster showed up in the eatery in September, just after Hurricane Ida, and would not go. When no one in the area claimed the rooster, the staff tenderly adopted him and gave him the name Rocco.
Employees at the branch frequently feed and take care of Rocco and even built him a coop so that he could serve as the branch’s mascot. Rocco may have picked an odd family, but he appears to be happy.
Giles replied, “He’s handsome and healthy.” He is unquestionably receiving excellent care.
Now, every morning on her way to work, Giles is greeted by the sight of Rocco strutting around the parking lot, surveying his domain. And Rocco’s popularity is only growing.
“Business has definitely improved,” Giles said. “Everyone wants to see the chicken.”
