Have you ever wondered the life cycle of a chicken? You should it's some good food *no pun intended* for thought. It my even provide a few belly laughs! It starts like this,- Which came first the chicken or the egg?
- Then two chickens fall into mmm, let's not say puppy love. I'm sure chickens don't like puppies. It's probably not puppy love for them. It's probably more like cow love. I think they like cows. Cows are probably cute to them like puppies are cute to us. I don't think they have a *beef* with the cows! So, they fall into cow love and....
- The Rooster and Hen do their thing!
- How do they do their thing? I've seen dogs and a horse but I ain't never seen no chicken. But they do! I googled it. It's been a topic of discussion for quite some time. See in our house we've been thinking the Hen lays the egg and then the rooster fertilizes it after it's been laid. NOPE! They got some kid of *Chicken dance*!
- The Hen holds the sperm in a little sac.
- Then the Hen releases sperm from the sac fertilizing the egg.
- The Hen lays the fertilized egg.
- Now, why do the Hens bother with the trouble of laying unfertilized eggs? I'm pretty sure they're not thinking "Hey, those sweet humans, the ones that pull out my feathers and chop off my neck, I should bake them some eggs". But they do. Odd ducks aren't they?
Next we've got chicken pox. This lovely chicken has been bothering Tyler for a good 9 days. Poor kid, incredibly bored, no school, no friends for a week, all while he felt fine just had pox given him a little trouble! Well I can't help it, once again I must follow my theory of "If there is a chance for fun, take it!"
Tyler was walking down the hall and I yelled, "TYLER STOP!" he stopped, I shook my head a little, "Oh, sorry I thought I saw feathers." He glared at me and kept walking but not before he stole a look over his body to see if there were any feathers.
Later while in my room I was explaining to him that when you have chicken pox often times you can lay eggs. I was telling him what an amazing process the whole thing was. He left the room unsure of the level of craziness I possessed or if I'm not crazy at all and if he could really lay an egg.
He went out and asked his siblings if they'd heard such a thing while I tried to convince Jeremy to go boil some eggs to lay in his bed that night.
I've been anxiously waiting for Tyler's teacher to call me and tell me of Tyler's concerns about growing feathers and laying eggs. My shock and disappointment would be heard, "What they don't?!"
