This is what Rocky would have looked like if he was armed with a golf club while he was chasing that chicken.

A pensioner was filmed running after a cockerel with a driver on his 65th birthday in an incident that could only be described as bizarre.

The footage showed the man desperately trying to catch the bird that was obviously far too quick for him.

At one point it seemed like he had got it cornered, just like Rocky did in the classic film, but it easily avoided him by jumping over his head.



He apparently had beef with the cockerel because it was keeping him up all night with its squawking.

Rocky couldn’t catch the bird either

We have no idea why the man was so grumpy on his birthday, surely he could have let it go.

We hope the cockerel got away!

The footage was apparently filmed in Wales.
