Once in a thousand years, when the positions of the stars are exactly right,
a seven-year-old rooster will lay an egg.  The creature that hatches is
called Basilisk, or Cockatrice.  Its stare can kill, and touching one will
instantly turn you to stone.  Even hearing its hiss is extremely dangerous.

It's just as well that the rooster lay the egg on the peak of your roof.
One less cockatrice won't be missed.
