I'm sure the pups enjoy the wing for now, but soon they'll probably like the legs better.

This made it? wow. That's 1 a year for me.

Ok, I grew up in an urban environment, and there's a lot about agriculture that I don't have experience with, so maybe I'm missing something. But I've read this sentence over and over and it still doesn't make any sense to me:

"Unfortunately, she got into an accident with a horse, which accidentally trod on her foot. Because of that, she gets terribly cold during the winter so we decided to bring her into the house."
Little help?

"We're hoping that soon Mabel will have her own chicks to look after but I don't think Nettle will be returning the favour when that happens."

I laughed.

Cute, though.

If it makes you feel better, I grew up in the country and that sentence still doesn't make any sense.

I dunno, but add in a comment about the Kaiser and something about onions and belts, and it's a perfect Grandpa Simpson ramble.

Who is nursing them? They are too young for grain.

Clearly a horse stepped on the chicken's foot. And as we all know, that makes you get cold (but ONLY when you're outside)...or something.

Maybe there was injury to some soft tissue and the foot gets more achy in cold weather. IOW it's not actually about the temperature in and of itself.

Maybe she can't roost with the other chickens?

I can only assume the chicken has some kind of circulatory problems, or maybe only one leg, and so she lacks feathers on one side. Otherwise, I can't imagine why getting stepped on by a horse would make a chicken cold.

I think that I can field this one. You know how when flamingos roost, they stand on one leg? Well, Mabel only HAS one leg now, and so when she lifts it up to tuck it under her wing, she falls onto the cold ground.

I hope that helps!

jagec: "Unfortunately, she got into an accident with a horse, which accidentally trod on her foot. Because of that, she gets terribly cold during the winter so we decided to bring her into the house."

Maybe the chicken has to stay outside, and there is a windmill that is making it too cool.

If it wasn't for that horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in the house.

Hope that helps

Accidentally my ass. That horse had chicken murder on his mind.

No problem. The hen has a mashed foot. Makes it hard to move around. It's cold outside. You need to keep moving to stay warm. Indoors you can sit around without getting cold.

The only thing I can think of would be related to heat generation; a bum leg means less activity presumably, thus less heat overall.

Why don't they toss that gimpy chicken into a stew pot and let the dog come back in and take of her pups?

/too easy?
 
2010-03-05 04:46:51 PM
The horse treading story is baloney. When I asked the family why the chicken only had one leg, they regaled me with a story about how this chicken saved their lives on several occasions, "and a chicken that good, you don't eat all at once!"

Wooo, another animal that thinks other babies are ITS babies. This one does cross over from mammal to bird, so I suppose that's notable. I'm waiting for, like, "Chimpanzee thinks sea-sponge is it's..." um... "... baby chimpanzee." How far can this be stretched? Cause "Human woman thinks cat is her kid" is pretty damn common.

It means the chicken's cunning plan is working.

Did you read the story in the sidebar about the "Sex Dungeon"
found in sleepy Devon village??

Quote below, from story. Imagine this being said by any Monty Python Cop:

"This incident demonstrates that we, the police, are reliant on information from the community."

Hmmmm, what angle will PETA think up to be outraged by this story? Deliberately confusing handicapped hen? Confusing the innocent puppies? The possibilities are endless

"Unfortunately, she got into an accident with a horse, which accidentally trod on her foot. Because of that, she gets terribly cold during the winter so we decided to bring her into the house."

Maybe it's because i'm baked, but that doesn't make sense to me.
