The Inevitable Egg

For a week we observed the white chicken, Colonel, as it became aggressive, a loner, a coop pacer, and an escapee. I was beginning to think it was crazy, like me. Being chased by a chicken, is honestly not something I ever thought I would experience in my life. Tall Man told me to remind it who the Big Bird is. So, I tried to channel my inner Big Bird and let the white chicken know that I was boss. Hasn't worked yet.

The said escapee bird has been guided back home on numerous occasions by our neighbors. I apologize. Each time they bring it back I think..."Why yes, thank you! So happy to have this bird back." Said in a self convincing voice. Honestly, the neighbors have been very nice to help us out.

However, the oddest behavior by far: Why does this chicken knock on the front door? This afternoon we were sitting in the front room and I heard a weird noise at the front door. Looked over at Tall Man and said, "That's a weird sound. Probably the escapee chicken knocking at the door. (insert hilarious, no way, type of laughter)" After a minute my curiosity got the best of me and I opened the door. Do you know how odd it is to open the door to find a chicken standing on your front porch? It's slightly twilight zone-ish. I look at it and think...."Yes, Do you have something to tell me?" I'm seriously waiting for it to talk one day and tell me he can get me a better deal on my cable.

So, finally an egg shows up and she stops pacing the coop, running away, and chasing us.....that is until she's ready to lay another egg. Seriously? Is this going to happen every time this bird lays an egg?

Help me!
