No, really.  Why did she? 

I have been in my front yard, painting the bus shelter which will soon become my chicken coop.  Painting is one of those activities that leaves you plenty of time to ponder on life, the universe and everything.

So, what would entice one of your chickens across the road?

[arugula]

To chase a particularly tasty looking flying insect?

[Pol]

Just thinking some one had a hand full off mealworms

[Pertelotte]

My lot don't need enticing.

Its restraining that they need.

[Springlands]

Lettuce or corn on the cob. 

[themagicaltoad1]

aaah, but why did the turkey cross the road?

[Hayley'sHens]

My duck crossed the road simply because she thought the grass was greener on the other side

Never mind chickens, WHY do Pheasants cross the road??? They are soooo stupid.  They walk across the road, change their mind half way across, go back to where they were, change their mind again and walk across the road again and then run right down the middle.  Lost count of how many times I have had to stand on my brakes and nearly crashed so I didn't kill one.  Silly things

Jinty - next time just think of pheasant casserole and save those brakes.

Ah, unfortunately you're not allowed to take roadkill that you have killed. As the next vehicle along though, you can.

[RichardA]

Sheer contrariness seems to be the motivation with most poultry

[CluckyChicken]

ah, so you get your friend to drive along behind you so they can pick up all the phesants and then you make your casserole  x

[themagicaltoad1]

aaah, but why did the turkey cross the road?

To prove he was no chicken!

[mumofstig]

If there is no-one about who's to know anyway?
