Thank you Gershon, I'm not yolking, she's an eggs-traordinary and talented bird! Some people simply balk at her, to hear her, merrily clucking away backward. She's so funny. She even cracks up the eggs :)

No, not crispy!! Lol! May her feathers never fall. She's as rare as hen's teeth this bird. I always wondered though if she tastes like turtle? So, I understand where you stand with your pets as well, and I guess I will never know eithr, partly because, I never ate turtle anyway :) JK, I never even wondered if she tastes like a turtle, but everything it seems tastes like chicken, so obviously, she probably does? Lol, such poetic musings.

Cleverly unique penning, I'll have to think about how to cluck backward though; don't think I've ever heard one do that.

Lol, yes, it is a rare talent to do so among chickens to be sure, Frosty is a rare breed I guess!

Lol, yes, sadly they don't live too long, even if they die a natural death, which is very unnatural when it comes to a hen's life!

A clever poem in the style of Frost. Well done.
