Chickengate: Uncle Joe takes a fearless stand
Friday, December 16, 2016
Dear Uncle Joe: You talked a lot about chickens in your column last week. Thanks, by the way, for terrorizing my grandkids who now are afraid I'm going to wring the neck of Clabby, the old hen in the pen in our backyard. The kids love this hen, and after seeing what you said in the newspaper, they break out sobbing every time they look at the bird. But here's my question: You didn't really say how you feel about having chickens in town. Yes or no? Are you for it or against it? Why don't you at least say how you really feel about Chickengate? Thank you. -- Kind Old Grandpa
