Rooster (Old Podgy) and His Hens (Pullets)

Thomas was a chicken farmer; his farm was dedicated to the fertilized egg business. In his farmyard, Thomas had 450 young hens to lay the eggs. Incidentally, at this stage the female hens are called 'pullets'. Now to fertilise the eggs, which the pullets laid, Thomas had 12 male birds called roosters.

The farmer kept careful records, and any rooster that didn't perform went straight into the cooking pot and a replacement introduced. Thomas found this task time consuming, so he bought a dozen tiny bells and attached one to each of his roosters. Cunningly, each bell had a different ring tone so Thomas could tell from from the comfort of his porch, which rooster was performing.

So now Thomas could sit on his rocking chair and tick the boxes on his efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favourite rooster was Old Podgy, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning Thomas noticed Old Podgy's bell hadn't rung at all! Thomas went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets, their bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer Thomas's amazement, Old Podgy had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Thomas was so proud of Old Podgy, he entered him in the Worcester County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result... The judges not only awarded Old Podgy the No Bell Piece Prize, but also they awarded him the Pulletsurprise!

Rooster + Chicken = Elephant??

Snowy the Cat and Gladys the Chicken Make Friends Cat and Chicken make friends

Gladys was only days old when her bantam hen mother was attacked and killed along with her 11of her 14 siblings by a fox attack. The other two did not survive the trauma. So, Gladys, as the chick is named was brought into the farmhouse, in a box, so that she could recover and build up her strength. It was then that she was befriended by 10 year old Snowy the cat.

Will and Guy have discovered that Snowy decided that she would look after Gladys. We found that Snowy, 'Cleaned her and washed her. Gladys is now about two-and-a-half months old and is our pet. She still comes into the house to play. She comes in and bounces up and down in front of Snowy and he just stands there and takes it and puts his arm around her. They are the best of friends, very much so, and when she first started going out she would not go unless they went together,' reported Jane Etheridge, a pony breeder from Middleton, Suffolk, England. Her husband Albert added, 'They are a strange couple but we love them both very much.'

Chinese Chicken Cheats Cooker

Gan Shugen took a chicken out of the freezer after two days and was shocked to find it was still alive. Gan Shugen, of Chengdu city, China, says the hen was a gift from a relative, reports Chengdu Evening News. It was wrapped in a thick plastic bag with its legs bound so, assuming it was dead, Gan put it straight in the freezer.

Two days later, when he opened the freezer, he was amazed by what he saw. 'I heard weak sounds, and when I opened the bag, a red head popped out,' he said. 'It was still warm, and when I removed the tape, she could stand.'

Li Fazhi, of the Chinese Association of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, said he was mystified and added, 'If the hen was locked in a fridge, that's still amazing; but if she survived in a freezer for two days, that's magic,' he said. Gan has said that he will not eat the chicken but look after it in his home.
