I spotted this cheeky ad today & had to take a photo of it. Grin

It's a sign at a pet shop - in Littlehampton of all places. Not sure how long it's been there but I had to wonder how long it will be before someone complains about it. Wink

Don't google that! I always thought a rooster was not a chicken, but a roaster is. When I buy chicken at the store I have always assumed I was buying a hen.

The discussion at my house tonight is that the rooster and the hen live in the chicken coup, but the is the rooster a chicken? Chickens lay eggs. Cheesy

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

I always thought that chicken was a generic name for the species. I consulted ~~the oracle~~ Wikipedia & this is what it says. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken#Terminology

In the UK, Ireland and Canada adult male chickens are primarily known as cocks, whereas in America and Australia they are better known as roosters. Males under a year old are cockerels. Castrated roosters are called capons (though both surgical and chemical castration are now illegal in some parts of the world). Females over a year old are known as hens, and younger females are pullets. In Australia and New Zealand (also sometimes in Britain), there is a generic term chook (pronounced /ˈtʃʊk/: rhymes with "book") to describe all ages and both sexes. Babies are called chicks, and the meat is called chicken.

"Chicken" was originally the word only for chicks, and the species as a whole was then called domestic fowl, or just fowl. This use of "chicken" survives in the phrase "Hen and Chickens", sometimes used as a British public house or theatre name, and to name groups of one large and many small rocks or islands in the sea (see for example Hen and Chicken Islands).

So now you know. Cheesy

That is a classic Doug Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
