Kenny The Rooster

Recommended Posts

A farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks.

So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks he has a

rooster that he would sell.

The other farmer says, "Yep, I've got this great rooster, named

Kenny. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem." Well, Kenny, the

rooster costs $3,000, a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd be worth

it.

So, he buys Kenny.

The farmer takes Kenny home and sets him down in the barnyard,

but first he gave the rooster a pep talk. "I want you to pace

yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here,

and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do

a good job. So, take your time, and have some fun," the farmer said, with a

chuckle.

Kenny seems to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen

house and Kenny takes off like a shot.

WHAM! Kenny nails every hen in the hen house - three or four

times, and the farmer is really shocked. After that, the farmer hears a

commotion

in the duck pen and, sure enough, Kenny is in there.

Later, the farmer sees Kenny after a flock of geese down by the

lake. Once again WHAM! He gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Kenny out in

the fields chasing quail and pheasants.

The farmer is distraught and worried that his expensive rooster

won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up

the next morning to find Kenny on his back out in the middle of the yard,

mouth open, tongue hanging out and both feet sticking straight up in the

air.

Buzzards are circling overhead.

The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and expensive

animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace yourself.

I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."

Kenny opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky

and says, "Shhhh… They’re getting closer."

Good one, Lynn!

It reminds me of a "real world" rooster encounter that I witnessed 3 years ago at Thanksgiving. The in-laws were over for dinner and brought their pampered pooch. Eventually, the 'lil red pomeranian, had to go outside to heed natures call. "Muffin", I swear that's the dogs real name, spies chickens out by the barn and goes tearing out there barking. Big Mistake!!! The hens all scattered like chickens do, and the rooster did what roosters do. :o How can I put this delicately? Err.....it's amazing how much a red pomeranian dog looks like a red bantam hen to a rooster twice her size. We all laughed till we cried. And the dog stayed away from the barn after that.

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young egg-laying hens called pullets and eight or ten roosters,

whose job was to fertilize the eggs. John kept records and any rooster th at

didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced.

That took an awful lot of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to th e

bells.

John's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn' t rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to Farmer John's amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the county fair -- and Butch became an overnight sensation among

the judges. The result --- The judges not only awarded Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize" but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
