This really happened!

So these two chickens have been at the local post office for at least a month and yesterday they were standing by the side of the road, good enough to get hit, so I rolled down my window and asked them "Why did the chicken cross the road?" They stood there looking at me like I was stupid..... and then they crossed the road to get to the other side.

And I just happened to have my camera with me :lol:

I've never seen a white chicken with such amazing red, er, hair?
Don't know what it's called but he's beautiful! Glad he didn't get hit!

It's called a comb or Cock's Comb as a rooster is refered to as a Cockerell.

My great grandpa used to raise Red Rock chickens and my mom and dad used to raise chickens to butcher. I gathered eggs at my grandparents farm when I was a kid.

I love this picture!!! Makes me think of the Country Mouse going to see his City Mouse cousin. I wonder if this rooster had a City cousin?

Beautiful rooster. Looks like a White Leghorn. Gonna get killed if somebody doesn't move it. Too bad, nice looking.

I don't know if you all noticed, but the rooster is following a red hen across the street. Her tail end is visible right behind my car. They've been camping out on the lawn at the post office for a while. It's pretty funny because this is in town, no farms around. No houses close by either.

Here's another look at them from another day.
