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.

The serious answer is that it depends on the breed and age of the chicken. Also what they are fed.

Guiness claims that the number they officially recognize is 371 per year by a White Leghorn.

Ive seen a non-Guiness confirmed claim of 374 attributed to a Black Australorp.

I dream of a day when a chicken can cross the road without having it’s motives questioned...

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

The two guys have some "history" in that county.
