Yes @SteamedToast

Let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the Sane Forum Family

We only had 2 chooks at once - I forget what happened to them - mostly they died after laying eggs every day for the best part of a year - they were Australorps - good layers

But one pair liked to sit on the branch of a tree that reached over the fence and someone must have grabbed them by the feet for dinner - there were feathers everywhere - and then we had a phone call - one was in the house next door - and my dd was in her early teens and had a dead-pan look on her face telling the lady that the hen might have been ours but they weren't tame and they were hard to catch - she was enjoying herself -

But I loved the sound of them clucking and when they laid and egg they went crackers - and even though only one had laid they would both squawk - and one year one laid double yokes

And one hot day one hen laid two eggs - the second one didn't have a shell - just the membrane

People loved us too - for fresh eggs - loved those fresh eggs

I have another animal story tooo - Porky - the pet pig my great grandparents put themselves out to give their 11 kids a treat for Christmas - and on Christmas Day they had their plates piled with pork but someone said "Where's Porky?" - and he was gone

I couldn't eat a pet with a name either - and well - that was my grandmother's story - but never giiven the fatted cow a name

Yes, @Decadian we had over 30 at one stage when I was on farm as a kid, used to sell the eggs, we rarely ate them, sold them ..chicken was a big treat back then, was birthdays and christmases

Hi @SteamedToast and @TAB

I love these animal stories - and fine and on topic in the Beer Garden

So I have a joke - I actually learned it in French at school

A couple went into a Restaurent in France - and they enjoyed a meal of some kind of meat and they asked the waiter what kind it was - but he had trouble understanding them

So they pointed at the meat and said "Cluck cluck?" and the waited shook his head

So they tried "Oink oink" and the waiter sighed - "Non"

Then the waiter said quietly so no one else could hear "Meow"

Aw - that bothers me
