Call Me Chicken!
Hank's days are numbered.
He has become so aggressive...
more so since we are home from Haiti.
For the past two days he has flogged me several times each afternoon.
Have you ever been flogged by a rooster?
It is an amazingly scary event.
First Hank comes running towards me,
then he puffs up the feathers on his neck,
flaps his wings....
lift-off.....
and his talons and spurs are headed for my legs.
At this point I am screaming...
like a little girl...
and running
backwards....
still screaming.

This picture was taken as I was running backwards...
terrified!
So, what to do with Hank?
Anybody want a rooster???
Free!!!!
(Free delivery and a year's worth of food)
Oh, here comes Hubbs through the door....
"What's for dinner Honey?", he asks....
"Chicken!".....I say, slyly....(feathers hanging from my hair)
