Item#: 3708 Level1 Containment Class: safe Secondary Class: none Disruption Class: dark Risk Class: notice link to memo







SCP-3708.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3708 is kept inside a standard low-concern enclosure at Site-73 and may be accessed by Level-2 personnel for testing.

Description: SCP-3708 is a 5 kilogram, 21 centimeter tall stone statue of a rooster.

At precisely 6:30 (local time) every morning, SCP-3708 will animate and emit a crowing sound in the 75-80 decibel range. It will then appear to scan the nearby area by craning its neck while seemingly becoming increasingly distressed; during this period of animation, it will emit several low vocalizations before becoming inanimate again at 6:31.

SCP-3708 produces a mild euphoric response in individuals that physically contact it; affected subjects report feelings of warmth and comfort.

SCP-3708 was recovered from the residence of the recently deceased Reinier Costede, an 83-year-old farmer, in Gilman, Wisconsin. Following the witnessing of SCP-3708's anomalous properties by Costede's relatives, field agents responded to reports of a "living chicken statue" circulating in the small village. Costede's residence was searched, and SCP-3708 was recovered without incident.







Addendum 3708.1: Recovered Document

Upon the recovery of SCP-3708, a small note was found taped to the side of its body.

Pa,

I'm going to be gone for a while.

Maybe I won't return.

I know you don't get many visitors out here… I found you something to keep you company, though!

A little reminder of me, I guess. His name's Benny.

Take good care of him, OK?

Marguerit.





Addendum 3708.2: Recovered Document

In addition to SCP-3708, a journal was found in Costede's residence; irrelevant content has been excluded.
