I can just see it all now...
A pristine morning dawns. Air cool and crisp. Pungent aroma of chicken dung clings in your nostrils while dispensing Blue Seal feed. One of your inquisitive children eager to learn blurts out the one question you hoped would never pass across their lips. "Daddy, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
While you feverishly ponder an appropriate response, Road Island Red makes true to it's namesake and makes a rapid dash for freedom. Across the lawn, into the road, only to be hit by a car on the far side. Safe passage missed by only inches. The driver stops all apologetic, your kid is in tears.
Then
WHAM your struck with another serious issue while your swollen teary eyed child looks to you for inspiration and understanding in this moment of historical tragedy. The driver asks you, " Gee, what do you suppose made the chicken want to cross the road."
Your challenges await you.
I hope what was posted above in no way influences you in a negative manner. I wouldn't wish for you to have second thoughts and chicken out...
Forgive me. I was trying to laugh at this: Really! But I got lost in all the (corny?) chicken... Jokes?
Ah well. For your information: The egg came first.

I did raise a chicken, when I was a kid, from an egg. I thought of it as a pet, but my folks had other plans. I don't remember now whether I was heartbroken about what happened, but if I were my folks, I would've planned the event with a bit more sensitivity than letting me watch it run around with its head cut off.

At least you didn't sit down to dinner one night and they were all "So how's Jeffrey taste son"!

I had a pig named 'Arnold' (named after Green Acres) starting when I was 2. He got HUGE, and we ended up sending him off to be slaughtered and butchered. :( Oh well, we had a freezer FULL of meat for quite a while. :)
