Dont pick-up stray Hens
Ok, really
I thought that might get your attention.
What I really found was a hen in my yard.
Its been here for about 3 weeks and it has decided to make my yard hers.
well, the neighbors yard too..made itself a coup at the corner of where our yards meet..no-one is taking claim of the hen or where it came from either.I have Puerto Rican and Cuban neighbors all around me, it literaly is the united nations here. so I know it got brought in with one of them..it cant fly very well or far.
I live in the city and its very rare to find hens here..we have ducks , there are many man made "ponds" retention lakes around here.
But I live on the edge of town.. not too far from whats left of the "woods"
which wont be for long as developers are grabbing it all.
Anyhow.. the hen was bothering me today .. cackling up a storm and Im am trying to rest. Im sick with this bug and need to get ride of it..and maybe the hen too..
I did a stupid thing.. Ok , Im not a farmboy or was raised on a farm altho my mom upstate thinks she has one..(collecting animals on her 40 acre property).
I went outside to see what all the racket was about , the hen was cackling at my door. like to ask to come in..sheesh.
So I goes outside , see hen , chase hen..hen comes over to me, pecks my barefeet.. I chase hen.. finally. I go to its roost..and see two eggs..so I picked up the eggs and brought them inside..figuring I'd have one up on the hen for bothering me..
Haha. thats what I thought..
One of the eggs felt hollow, the other seemed full..so I decided to put them in the fridge..the hollow one decides to explode, yes, you read that right, it exploded after only being in the fridge for only 5 seconds.. now, it wasnt hot outside , perhaps only about 25c or 77f..
But the worst part is.. It stank bad.. covering the insides of the fridge with this aweful green nasty stuff..
I just got done cleaning it out, (not that it didnt need it anyway).
But thats not how I wanted to spend the day..
Anybody want a Hen ?????
