Personality
Rocky loves fame, respect, recognition, attention, and adulation, which was always handed to him. He has a charm that attracts many to him, an intelligent wit, and a flair for showmanship, making him highly attractive.

Not having it in him to tell them the truth, he abandons the hens while leaving the other half of his poster that reveals his secret. But his conciensness turns out to always in the right place and he returns to save the chickens from the Tweedy's.
