<PTR Information>

Here’s what you need to do to obtain this:

Log into one of the Public Test Realms.
Head to Booty Bay.
Find Landro Longshot on the dock outside the Old Port Authority building.
Ask Landro what promotions he has.
Then choose Fields of Honor.
Choose the Magic Rooster Egg.
Enter the code “3333″ (without the quotes).
The egg should now be added into your backpack.

Where does it come from and how hard is it to get?
Magic Rooster Egg comes from the World of Warcraft TCG (trading card game)
TCG Expansion: Fields of Honor (Press Release)
Card: El Pollo Grande
Rarity: 1/363 booster packs (speculative)
Distribution: Fields of Honor booster boxes contain 24 boosters and cost approx $65 USD (inc. shipping), therefore the average cost of obtaining this particular loot is $923.00

How much would I expect to pay for one off eBay or similar?
According to http://www.wowtcgloot.com/magic_rooster_egg.htm (most information sourced from there), the expansion released on the 30th June 2009. Upperdeck have not specified any changes to the rarity of the three loots in this expansion (Path of Cenarius, Ogre Pinata, Magic Rooster Egg). Mounts tend to be more desirable than pets, and this is the first unique model that UDE has released since the X-51 Nether-Rocket XTREME, therefore a rough guess on price is over $300 USD.

Facts:

Both Horde and Alliance can ride the mount.
It crows and scratches like a normal rooster.
The mount only has an epic land version costing 10g.
Requires minimum Riding Skill 150, obtainable at level 40 (patch 3.2) to use.

Hmm... it currently doesn't have the BoP flag on it.
I would expect that this will be changed, otherwise players with the Loot Card code could simply buy an "unlimited" number of these, and sell them to other players for profit.

If it doesn't get changed, be prepared to search out for these on patch day, because it will likely be changed soon after.

EDIT: Update 2009-07-31 17:00:37
Blizzard has announced that the removal of the BoP flag on most TCG mounts is intended and expected to go live ( Blue Post ):

In the upcoming content patch 3.2, Call of the Crusade, we are changing the Upper Deck Trading Card Game mounts to be Bind-on-Use instead of Bind-on-Pickup. This will allow players to sell newly redeemed TCG mounts in-game through the trade window, Auction House or via CoD. The primary goal behind this change is to help reduce the number of players who are getting scammed by trading for an invalid mount code. As part of this update, the NPC vendor functionality currently in place for these mounts will be removed, and instead the mount (both epic and non-epic when applicable), will now be immediately placed in your inventory upon the verified redemption of the code. If you have already redeemed one of these codes and have not purchased both the epic and non-epic versions from the vendor window, it's important that you do so before the patch is released.

This update will affect the Spectral Tiger, Swift Spectral Tiger, X-51 Nether-Rocket, X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME, Big Battle Bear, and Magic Rooster Egg. Items that were obtained before the patch will not be affected by this change and will continue to be soulbound to the character that purchased them.

From my experiance on the PTR: these mounts make a really annoying clucking noise.

This is about the closest thing Blizzard can get to having a Chocobo in their game without Square Enix flipping out.

If only it was a two-person Mount...
Then you could ask people if they want to ride your "Magical &*!@"

(Male Chicken = Rooster = !@#$)

Commento di Furydeath

They are also not BoP.

El Pollo Grande has returned, it would seem...

Commento di 296189

I'm a little upset (to the extent that I could ever be upset about something in a video game) that this is only available through the trading card game. It would be the most awesome mount in the history of the world (of Warcraft), but the only people who have a reasonable chance to get it are people who are willing to spend possibly hundreds of dollars on cards--in other words, people with more money than they know what to do with. I do not fit into that category; nor, I imagine, do most people who play the game, so this mount is inaccessible to most of us.

In general, I guess I don't get what Blizzard is gaining from the trading card game. Yeah, there are some people who will plunk down great gobs of money, but wouldn't Blizz gain as much by making the card items available through purely in-game means, thereby maximizing the number of cool things the average player is able to experience? The more fun things there are to do in the game, the more likely players are to stay and keep playing (and paying). So isn't it a bad idea to take things that would appeal to a large number of people and only make them available to a very small number of people?

TL;DR: Why is this mount only available for people willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a trading card?

I may name it Chicken Boo if i get it, "Chicken Boo, what's the matter with you? You don't act like the other chickens do. You wear a disguise to look like human guys, but your not a man your a chicken Boo."~ Animaniacs: Chicken Boo song. It's a chicken i tells ya, a giant chicken! Anyway best mount idea... EVER!

Commento di artemis

Not really like the Design on this mount, but to ride a big chicken is cool.

LULZ "GIANT !@#$"

I hope the /mountspecial command is a loud crow or something different. Anything but that squawk that the Hawkstriders do.

Commento di 291438

This is how you pickup chicks.

Commento di 403833

I just hope that when i'm riding it, nobody chokes it....

Commento di 424849

For that first comment i need to say that i did everything and put 3333 but it said couldnt valdiate code or somthing
(note that i didnt put in the quotes)

Commento di 332502

Commento di Danjen

I can already picture the bad jokes that will come of this on trade. Y'know, riding a "rooster".

Commento di Bdon111

At least I have chicken....

Commento di 331887

i bought a booster box of Fields on Honors and i got this loot card in the 17th pack i opened :D
and got 2 of the Path of Cenurius 200

Commento di 286144

personally, if u think real hard and take a good long look, you will realize that this mount is actually the world of warcraft version of Foghorn Leghorn from Looney Toons. "I say I say, you got to keep on your toes. TOES that is!"

Commento di Nieker

i wonder when blizzard/UDE implants this

Commento di Teshiruu

Macro this like a boss to put all those silly warlock and Anzu mount macros like "I am summoning a steed from nitemare" or "O raven god let me ride u" in their proper place;

/y ARISE CHICKEN
/cast Magic Rooster
/y CHICKEN ARISE
/e makes some strange gestures.

for reference for your enhanced macro making pleasure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZ9dtZ8lYww
