Chicken Joy

"Catch me if chicken"

If there is a domesticated animal that you would suspect running away with food that you left on your picnic table, the cat would probably come to mind first, the dog next, or if you are in an island like Palawan, the monkey would be another likely suspect.

But a chicken?

I was at a local resort doing something for my business when all of a sudden a commotion disturbed the stillness of this warm early afternoon.   A group of resort maintenance crew was trying to corner a fat, noisy but very frisky hen - one of the several free range birds that wander about the place.

I thought to myself, what the heck has gotten into these people, can't a hen have a break in this lazy afternoon without being chased around by deranged humans?
