Woman Learning Farm Life Meets A Rooster For The First Time

March 13, 2025

April has been dipping her toes into farm life near Mobile, Alabama, but nothing could have prepared her for her first meeting with a rooster.

At the start of the video, she confidently declares, “I ain’t scared,” as she approaches a crate — inside sits Captain, a feisty rooster who has no intention of being handled.

“It ain’t gonna jump out, is it?” she says just before opening the crate. But jump Captain certainly did...

A woman who’s been embracing a bit of farm life near Mobile, Alabama, might have thought she was ready to handle a rooster, but the footage she recorded for the occasion told quite a different story. The video shows April Brown seeming fairly confident, saying, “It ain’t gonna jump out, is it?” as Captain the rooster is about to be taken out of his crate. But jump Captain certainly did, with the camera catching Brown’s hilarious reaction. “Hold on, Captain,” she can be heard shouting while desperately holding onto the bird. The video rapidly went viral, racking four million views on TikTok with somebody commenting, “You’ve never done that before? Couldn’t tell one BIT.” This hasn’t stopped Brown from telling Storyful, “I love my farm life.”
