roy rooster (voiced by thom huge): the strip's main antagonist, although he is more of an irritant and an antihero than an actual bully or true antagonist. roy is a loud, greedy rooster who endlessly enjoys practical jokes. with few exceptions he is tolerated because his job of waking up everyone and 'tending' to the chickens is important, but he does his best to avoid labor whenever possible. in the cartoon, he is more well-liked by the others and is often the one to defeat the series antagonists such as orson's brothers. in spite of his lazy nature, roy has proven to be a very capable protector of the chickens, coolly outsmarting and defeating the predators, such as the weasel and the fox, that try to kidnap them with a series of practical jokes and gags. he has a special delight in tormenting wade as an easy target. he's allergic to flowers, a fact that was first established in a strip published on july 2, 1986.
