Biography
Rocky has his first appearance after being shot out of a cannon, and then accidentally injures himself after flying too straight. As he is taken to Chicken Hut #17, his left wing is wrapped in a bandage, with a safety pin hooked on it. Rocky first wears a cape, that looks like an American flag, and then a blue bandanna, with white polka dots on it. He saved Ginger from Mr. and Mrs. Tweedy's pie machine. Rocky came back to save Ginger from Mr. and Mrs. Tweedy. He rejoins Ginger and the other chickens and the two rats to escape the Tweedy farm in an airplane.
