Florida man ‘Farmer Pete’ allegedly opens fire at bar over how many eggs a chicken can lay

Which came first, the chicken conversation or the frustrated farmer?

A Florida man allegedly opened fire at a trio of twentysomethings outside of a bar earlier this month during an argument over how many eggs a chicken can lay.

Peter Riera, 44, called 911 on Nov. 4 and said he had been robbed and was being chased by two men and a woman at Harper’s Pub in Port Saint Lucie, according to Port Saint Lucie cops.

The trio — identifed in the police docs as Brandon Pace, 23; his girlfriend, Kayla Damiana, 26; and Tyler McHargue, 23 — told responding officers that they had been talking to Riera, whom they had been introduced to that night as “Farmer Pete.”

The group somehow wound up discussing chickens and egg production, a conversation that quickly escalated when Riera inexplicably grew paranoid they were going to “jump” him, according to witness statements taken by the cops.

Riera allegedly accused the three of trying to “con” him and pulled out a gun. He allegedly fired four rounds at the group while they were fleeing, but no one was injured, police said.

Body camera footage obtained by CBS 12 showed Riera, dressed in a pair of jean overalls and seemingly missing his shoes, being arrested outside the pub.

Well, it depends. If it’s hens, I don’t know, but if it’s roosters, the number has to be pretty low...

Anton Chekhov said that it you write a story mentioning the gun hanging over the fireplace, you then are obligated to have the gun go off at some point. Apparently Caitlin McCormack has no clue who Anton Chekhov was because she posits the question in the headline but fails to reveal the answer in the story.

Bar Rock hens sometimes lay 2 eggs a day. I don’t know about other breeds.

I’ll help..

AI Overview
A chicken can lay at most one egg per day, but it is not a daily guarantee. The actual number of eggs laid depends on factors like age, breed, diet, health, and the amount of daylight they receive. A healthy laying hen typically lays an egg every 24 to 26 hours, so on average, one egg per day is the most common outcome for high-production breeds, especially from spring to autumn.

If a Rhode Island Red or a Texas leghorn between 6 months and 30 months old it is about 270 eggs per year

The people he accused are no angels. They were arrested for resisting arrest...

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To show the possum it could be done.

Who cares how many times a hen can get laid in a day? I would guess that it varies depending on whether the hen is a prude or a nympho chicken.
