Character looks great, nice and colourful.

Walk cycle looks good, I like the bouncy tail. It's a bit slidey though, you can probably fix that by turning on Onion skinning and making sure his foot doesn't slide when it's on the ground.

For better results on the swf output you should check the "Variable line widths (SWF)" if you have not already done. I should allow keep the width relative size when scaling the rooster.
Maybe it can correct the eye in the swf. It looks not as good as in the drawing.
Also the change of style in the legs is weird.
Otherwise it looks great and has lots of potential.

EDIT: Hmmm... it looks like a different rooster design, isn't it?

Thanks Selgin for your comments. I have seen the videos, 1st one is great. Its looking like its a 3D Animation. Can we achieve that type of effect in 2D? Can you please guide me to go ahead with that type of effect. Its realy great.

I think the idea was for you to use it as a reference...what guidance would you need?

Not to bad. Would have been nice to see a bit of that bobbing head movement that chickens do.

Thanks. My Idea is that 1st Create the Bone Setup and Character and make Trnasfer form Frame 1 to Fram 100 on X and then use Lock Bone feature to feet stuck to the ground without slipping? I need help in that.

Actually lock bone doesn't work as you describe. For this kind of cyclic I recommend you to create a base walk and then translate the whole layer on linear mode.
look at mikdog tutorial. Pay attention on the steps to make it (maybe try to not look too much at mikdog's layers organization, he works in a very special axis groups order)

If you still want to use lock bones, you must animate by hand each step and you can't reuse a walk cycle (at least not with little effort)
look at the last paragraph on tutorial:

and on this thread I think there are some explanations
