Kill the Rooster

[p***@hotmail.com]

Yes that guy "chase" is playing like he is the biggest country
bumpkin but he
killed the wrong chicken (ie not the rooster). I bet he is really a
big city slicker.
Even the biggest city slicker ever, Jerry Seinfeld, (ie the show was
based in NYC)
knew that when Kramer brought home a chicken to get free range
(apartment) eggs
he wasn't going to get any because it was a rooster. (Maybe these
morons thought
you need the male to get eggs. You don't; you just need the male for
the eggs to
be fertile.)

Bruce spoke about

'Leetle Yerryeh Seinfeld'.

Is there an echo in here? :)

I wouldn't call them morons for not knowing that, but I do call them
morons for not looking it up before they go. Chickens often show up
as rewards. And why include a rooster to begin with. Fertilized eggs
taste nasty. So does rooster, but food is food.

Well...gawrsh Ms. Jenny, I twern't raised on no farm...but I DID see me
some hens and roosters on my aunt's spread. (spread...haha :-)

I didn't look it up either...so I may be a maroon...but do roosters, in
any way, stimulate the hens to lay eggs?

Not physical stimulation...but maybe just having a male around to GOOSE
(goose, haha...fowl) the primal urge to lay eggs.

Otherwise...maybe it's a Survivor trick to see if the players KNOW that
you don't need a rooster to cause hens to lay eggs.

It's STILL best to keep the egg layers around...just like in HUMAN
civilization.

The rooster is about as useful to stimulate egg production as a
wombat. For reasons I don't need to explain, there will be no
fertilized eggs without the rooster. The chickens you get from a
hatchery have had all the broodiness bred out of them. Therefore, they
have no interest in sitting on the eggs. On the other hand, you don't
have to fight a pissed off chicken to get the eggs.

All that said, a rooster is useful to warn the flock when a hawk flies
over and will actually round everyone up and get them into the
henhouse. He will put himself between a snake and the flock, pecking
the snake's eyes out if he can or die in the attempt. A good rooster
is a treasure worth having. The same as in human civilization, yes.

I'm just guessing that the chickens provided in Survivor aren't
hatchery-bred, especially since they aren't usually big fat Leghorns.

I don't recall why I went off on a hatchery tangent. I guess I'm
questioning why they threw in a rooster in the first place. For the
fertilized eggs? There's no time to hatch them, let alone have them
grow to productivity. If they did it to see what the players would do,
then why ignore anything involving the chickens at tribal? These and
many other burning questions trouble me and keep me up at night.

So...do what 'I' do. Call 1-800-CHICKEN.

It's free...they're open 24/7, full of young farm folks in bib overalls
and Daisy Dukes.

Call and talk to a real hick. They tell farm yokes, uh...jokes...and
give recipes to cook innards and beaks.

It's hot...it's sexy...and it's free...AND..everyone talks like
Perfesser Wald spells.

Call NOW! Sal-OOT!

I too wondered why it didn't come up at tribal. If it did come up,
why did they edit it out?

To give the tribe chicken meat for dinner while not hampering their
supply of eggs from the hens.
Without the rooster, they would have had to choose between eggs and
chicken meat.

But the tribe didn't take the hint.

Stay tuned for post-merge episode where Marty proves once and for all
that he is a Grand Chess Master. There is one rooster and one
exhausted chicken left in the pen.

Marty: "Why didn't you kill the rooster?"

That would be good if Sue Hawk was in the tribe.

Wombat, huh?

Do women need to marry in order to menstruate? (Menstruation produces
an egg every month.)

Yep, Tyrone said in his postgame interviews that they thought they
needed the rooster for the hens to lay eggs.

Which is wrong, of course. Hens lay eggs even without a rooster. But
they're less lonely with a rooster. :-)
