Never been quoted in anyone’s sig line before!
Thanks, RtR - I feel like one of the cool kids now.
:lol:
Well you know what they say when your (other word for rooster :lol:) wanders no telling what will happen to it!
If you sent them an apology note with cash I bet they starting staking roosters to the ground in your paddock…
I agree with others. Like Manuel in Fawlty Towers…you know nothing…
Or Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes :winkgrin:
And APPLAUSE for Paint’s poetry… truly one for COTH classic nomination. :lol:
LOL! SonnysMom, you and DH need to move next to me. We need more of you up here on the mountain.
pAaint - you ROCK! (and a Fawlty Towers reference in the same thread - I love COTH!)
I agree - don’t even bother with the neighbors. Not your issue. (and good luck with them, btw - they sound like klass acts).
You could always fry it up and return it to them ready for the table.
Wow. I think it sounds like you need a 6 ft privacy fence.
Reminds me of an episode of that cooking show The Two Fat Ladies. One of them explained that she always kept a loaded gun near her kitchen window to dispatch of rabbits who foolishly encroached on her kitchen garden (:eek:). One day she mistook her neighbour’s peacock for a rabbit. You see where this is going.
As an apology gesture she made a very nice dinner featuring the departed peacock and invited her neighbour over…she did not really elaborate on how the apology was received…
This for sure.
[quote=RacetrackReject;5393300]I think I will try and do that, then if the neighbors should bring it up, I will offer to replace their roo with a rooster of mine.

No!
Simply say something about all the predators in the area.

How would you even start that conversation…
<everybody sits down to dinner>
“So Steve, remember that peacock you used to have?”
“Used to have? I still have peacocks”
“Well technically you have one less then before, and turns out he makes a great roast. Wing or thigh?”
Just remember to remove the poem from your fridge when they come knocking asking if you have seen said rooster.
“You can tell you are a redneck if you let your chickens wander into TB pastures”
:lol:
How did I ever miss that episode! :lol:

Why tell them at all? Free range chickens go missing all the time. It’s just the risk you run when you don’t pen them. Had it not been the TBs, it would’ve been a dog or coyote. Bury it, and let it go. Be glad that’s one less roo to harrass your ladies.[/QUOTE]
Ditto. Chickens go missing all the time. Bury the Rooster and call it a day.
Marvelous!!!
Ohhh I have SUCH chicken envy! I want me some chickens too! Such fun! Such adventure! They go bowling! They’re memorialized in colorful poems! They’re served up for dinner. Ohhhh, I want me some chickies too!:yes:

Too bad you’re so far away. You could come get my neighbors “free range” chickens. They feel free to range, and poop, all over my front yard and porch. :mad:
My neighbors aren’t bad people, just clueless. I have managed so far to talk them out of getting a pony to put on their acre of property so I guess it could be worse.
I know we have several foxes nearby, where are they when you need them?
Chickens taunt the horse
Trample, trample, trample, dead
fry the evidence
Love me some dead rooster Haiku!
