We had a Rooster, and let me tell you, they’re so smart!….My sister bought two baby chicks and we raised them. One of them died and the brown Rooster remained. He would chase us sometimes and attack us when we didn’t pay attention to him, left him outside in the hot weather for a while, and when he was hungry. We named him Pancho. He would sit with my dad and watch movies. He would watch my mom finish her chores and if my mom talked to him, he would crow back as if having a conversation with her. Our stupid neighbors complained about our Rooster, So we had to give it to our uncle so he drop him into the forest out back of his house, and he’s probably dead now.

My grandmother grew up on a farm in Missouri. They had many chickens they raised to eat. So naturally to eat them you must kill them yourself. She told me how her mother (my great-grandmother) would suddenly break the neck and let the chicken flail around the yard, and she and her brothers and sisters would scream and pretend like it was chasing them. I told her she had a morbid childhood. She agreed.

A friends mother received as a gift a dyed pink baby chicken for easter as a child…The “chicken” would chased them around and peck at them all the time.

Come to find out, they had a rooster. One day the rooster was gone, and they had chicken for dinner.

She is still terrified by them to this day!

I understand the fear of chickens. I was attacked by a rooster when I was 2. Almost lost an eye, scarred for life. Well you can kind of still see it.

So, you put Frank Perdue’s pic up, yet you fail to mention him (or any Perdue)in this article? Too bad.

The original Perdue chicken plant is about 100 miles from me (in Salisbury Maryland). Marylanders know all about Perdue since the plant (and hq) are in Salisbury on the way to OCMD.

If the rooster is sleeping with the hen, who’s sleeping with the chicken?

Werner Herzog told me once: “Don’t fall asleep with your shoes on” It is wisdom I have lived by my entire life. It’s timeless wisdom. Who likes that sweaty feeling in your socks when you wake up from a nap.

That Stroszek clip brought back a childhood memory. I remember seeing the same kind of animal show at Paul Bunyan Land in Minnesota.
