Chicken Chet


Introducing.............Chicken Chet, my new nemesis. You can't tell from this picture, but this little jerk is six inches tall. At first he was so cute, a tiny little rooster. Then he was funny when he started to crow that wimpy falsetto cackle. Then he started to get the slightest bit bold, you know following you all around the yard while crowing constantly. Finally, Sunday he made his move. I went out to the garden to harvest some zucchini when something landed on my back. I knocked him off of me, but he kept coming back for more. I booted him four times in the chest with my foot, and that just ticked him off. Now I can't even imagine the scene from the neighbours point of view, but it was a death match for me and Chicken Chet. I managed at last to throw my freshly picked zucchini at the little devil and I ran like the dickens.

Once safely inside the house, and after I caught my breath I realized two things. One, this is MY house, and two, Chicken Chet is going down!

Saga to be continued....

  2. I KNOW YOUR PAIN!!!!!! John and Connie had an evil, evil rooster that taunted me when that sucker lived right next to my house. That is when my hatred of chickens/roosters began!!!! Luckily evil rooster once tried to attack my Uncle Brents little Bella and his life ended oh so quickly!!! Happy day for me - you could always give my Uncle Brent a call - I hear his prices are pretty reasonable for a rooster hit :0)................

  6. I have a few very good chicken recipes. Maybe we could teach the rest of the ward what to do with a pesky chicken!!! (My mom taught me how to kill and clean them when I was very young)
