Chickens Commit Suicide Daily

Chickens run out in front of my car daily. Trying to be killed. Yes, I am always putting the flag on my car at half-mast. They are free range, and they are fast. They are also dumb. I do the best I can to not run over them. But they are fast. They live with the farmer behind the fence, over the hill. I do not know him, but I do not think he wants to know me. They live with goats, and a horse, and a couple of bunnies. The one I ran over today makes number forty-three.

So your Roadkill Cafe is fully stocked, or are you doing Take Away? Aloha! Rico

Sometimes I do take away via the undercarriage of my car.

Forty-three...Hmm... Let's see... Why that makes this your George W. Bush Jr. chicken. Trump's coming right up (#45). You're giving new meaning to the 'Game of Chicken!' lol. ~ gw

It must be suicide. They run out in front of me every time. Do they not have ears?

Chicken dinner again, Ma! Can’t you run over something else tomorrow? ;)
