A lifetime of Chickens, with the BIGGEST CHICKEN EVER in Putnam!

I have been surrounded by chickens my entire life!

My grandfather had them, my father had them, my mother still has them! Mom's of course have luxurious housing, roomy pens, gourmet meals, and are all named aptly.  I hear my neighbor's rooster cock-a-doodle-doing on my morning jogs.

Chickens influence our thought processes, reasoning abilities, and philosophies. Really, which came first, the chicken or the egg. Never forget, don't count your chickens before they hatch...

Concern strikes the nation when we hear of salmonella fouling our fowl, or as recent headlines report of the condition of our eggs being a scrambled mess.

However, my favorite chicken of all is the GIGANTIC chicken I pass every day at the Cargill Falls Mill. I don't know whether to wave to him or to garyo, the Johns, and their fun daily intern at WINY each morning. Come on, how many towns have a GIGANTIC chicken? I will be so sad when he is no longer there.

I am a Putnamaniac thanks to the GIGANTIC chicken!
