I think the original saying was something like- mad as a wet setting hen- hen on nest can't get off while it's raining, so all she can do is sputter! Make mine extra crispy!

Ahhh...heh heh heh!

I always kinda figured they are so overbred that they don't have the instinct to come out of the rain any more. The still know how to "come home to roost", though.

I remember one time two of the chickens got separated by the ac unit outside. They both just freaked out! All this squawking and crying! I went running out there and kinda shooed them together and they were fine. LOL I mean, literally, they were just a few feet away from each other, but had an ac unit between them! It was hysterical.

I want to raise meat chickens too, but we do live in just a regular neighborhood. The neighbors have been extremely tolerant of our six hens, but a bunch of meat chickens might not go over too well! LOL
