University Graduates Outsmarted by
Illiterate Chicken
All hell broke loose at Winsome Ridge recently, when Hilary the chicken went broody and decided to match wits with Linda (BA) and Tony (BA (Hons), BSocAdmin, PhD).
Tony and Linda thought it was easy to cure a chook of broodiness – just lock her in a cage for a day or two, and she’ll get over it. But when Hilary went broody, an incredible battle of wits and wills ensued, with the feisty chicken being the eventual winner.
‘The cage hasn’t been built that can hold our Hilary’, Tony said. ‘We tried using chicken wire first, but she just ripped it out with her teeth, so we put her in the cat-carrier, but she picked the lock with a hairpin. Then we nailed her inside an apple box, but later we heard a strange noise, and found that somehow she’d got hold of a blowtorch and was burning her way out. Our only option then was to cuff her and take her down to the local jail. The cops said they could hold her, but that same night she was sprung by a gang of hooligan chooks who overpowered the guard dog. We think they made their getaway in a stolen helicopter. I’ve never seen anything like it.’
At last report, Hilary was sitting on the nest, brooding.
