400-Pound Bright Blue Rooster

Someone tried to steal a 5-foot, 400-pound bright blue rooster. The rooster was purchased two years ago from a yard ornament store that was going out of business.

The owner has kept the metal rooster perched on his property south of Kennewick for two years and says, "Rudy is a family pet. He doesn't go anywhere, but he's part of the family."

Sleater said he thinks that whoever was trying to steal Rudy got spooked after pushing the oversized rooster down a dirt embankment.
