The Pookwife, in her wisdom, bought four young chicks at the local annual agricultural show. Three of which turned out to be roosters, thus necessitating their dispatch by yours truly. Well, I suppose they were beneficial, since we ate one and the other two are in the freezer, but generally speaking they are only worth it if they lay eggs. Plucking and gutting them to eat is not worth it when you can buy them so cheap at the supermarket. I wonder if chicken soup reduces blood pressure?
