Celebrate this whole range of domestic feathered friends that are raised for their meat and eggs by thinking about just how boring Christmas would be without the addition of a turkey, chicken, duck, goose or pheasant to the table. How naked would your fancy salad be without a quail’s egg quivering at the top? How incomplete would that Chicken Pie be without…well…the chicken? It is for all these reasons and more that we pause and say thank you to poultry for enhancing our diets and giving us opportunities to fight over the wishbone, draw lots over who gets the last drumstick, and encourage sibling rivalry by letting them fight out whose turn it is to crack the egg into the cake batter. Take it away with the chicken jokes
I had a chicken as a pet when I was a kid I keep talking about getting two or three for the garden, to the extent that my friends randomly bought me a subscription to Practical Chicken Farmer or Poultry Monthly or something like that for my birthday once!! That was 10 years ago, and I’ve still not got any.
We kept chickens when we first got married - they are cute when little - but they are evil birds when grown up - they will peck a weak one to death given the chance - and when you walk through them in the yard you have to do just that - walk at them and make them get out the way or be trodden on - or else they will think they are top of the tree - as my wife (and also the dog) found out as they got pecked/chased when going through the yard.
A bloke says to a bird “ do you like chicken” Yes she said He said “ then don’t ..... this cos it smells fowl( foul)
I love chicken, don't eat Turkey, cant abide that brown leg meat. I remember one year as kids for Christmas we had goose, the cavity was so big we could have climbed in and sailed across the local pond. Second to Steak chicken is my favourite meat, love the crisp( unhealthy) skin, the whole lot, well apart from the parsons nose.

We rescued loads of chickens that were destined for tiger food at the local zoo. Proper treat watching them grow feathers back and eventually popping eggs out.
My father crossed a chicken with a spider, when we lived on a farm,so everyone could have a leg for dinner. What did it taste like? Dunno, he never managed to catch it...
