A man was driving down a quiet country lane when out into the road strayed a rooster. Whack! The rooster disappeared under the car in a cloud of feathers.
Shaken, the man pulled over at the farmhouse and rang the doorbell. A farmer appeared. The man somewhat nervously said, “I think I killed your rooster, please allow me to replace him.”
“Suit yourself,” the farmer replied, “the hens are round the back.”
A farmer wanted to have his hens serviced, so he went to the market looking for a rooster. He was hoping he could get a special rooster, one that could service all of his many hens.
He told this to the market vendor. The vendor replied, “I have just the rooster for you”. Dom here is the horniest rooster you will ever see!”
So the farmer took Dom back to the farm. Before setting him loose in the henhouse though, he gave Dom a little pep talk.
“Dom”, he said, “I’m counting on you to do your stuff.”
And without a word Dom strutted into the hen house. Dom was as fast as he was furious, mounting each hen like a thunderbolt. There was much squawking and many feathers flying, till Dom had finished having his way with each hen.
But Dom didn’t stop there. He went in to the barn and mounted all the horses, one by one and still at the same frantic pace. Then he went to the pig house, where he did the same.
The farmer, watching all of this with disbelief, cried out, “Stop, Dom,you’ll kill yourself.”
But Dom continued, seeking out each farm animal in the same manner. Well, the next morning, the farmer looked out and saw Dom lying there on his lawn. His legs were up in the air, his eyes rolled back, and his long tongue hanging out. A buzzard was already circling above Dom.
The farmer walked up to Dom saying, “Oh you poor thing, look what you did, you’ve gone and killed yourself. I warned you my little buddy.”
“Shhhhh,” Dom whispered. “The buzzard’s getting closer.”
If you believe in God, this age-old question really has a simple answer. According to the Creator of chickens, and the author of the Record of their origins, chickens came first. It was on the Fifth Day of Creation:
“And God created great whales and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind; and God saw that it was good.”.
It has perplexed humanity from as early as the Ancient Greeks. So which came first, the chicken or the egg? We take a crack at this curious conundrum.
