If you had followed Mark into town this morning, you may have done a double take. Perched on the straw in the trailer rode a chicken.
Mark and the boys climbed into the truck to head to the farm. As they were piling in, a chicken hopped onto the trailer. Thinking it was a good place to sit, two of her friends decided to join her. When the truck started to move out the drive, two hopped off. Racing to the front window I saw that one stayed on for the ride. Her feathers were blowing so much in the wind I wasn't sure she would stay on.
Imagine Mark's surprise when someone at the gas station commented on his passenger. Those folks enjoyed a good laugh this morning. If the gas station owner can catch the chicken, he gets to keep her. Or maybe the town has a new mascot. You never know. Keep your eyes open when you drive through. You may just find our hen ruling the roost.
