JIM: Fractious fowl of Big Elm very unlike peaceful Big Chicken Just 90 short years ago, the Big Elm community was beset by bird which wanted to fight all the time. But, back in those days, we hear tales of grown men dressing up in their Sunday best, looking up a worthy opponent, and, after a polite knock, announce that he had come asking to fight the host. Times have changed. -CM By Jim Obviously, the peaceful gallus domesticus giganticus seen around the Square here of late is no relation to the winged critter reported by the Big Elm correspondent in the spring of 1921: Mr. Milton Hughes caught a fowl of some sort last Sunday, in his field, about the size of a small hen. It was of a dark blue color, beak like a hen, feet like a duck, legs like a crane and eyes as red as a terrapin,and wants to fight all the time. The oldest inhabitants never saw anything like it. Researched and edited by Jim, who is well versed in these matters. -CM 2011-10-08 07:37:27 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

Melewi theorizes on Big Chicken phenomenon Warns it could end up feeding a lot of people chicken 'n dumplins By Melewi I believe this chicken may have gotton lost and it belongs to Jeanne Marshburn. Or, it could belong to Kathy Hunt. She was missing one the other day. They both love their chickens. I would hate to have to build a roost for that chicken, or a chicken coop. It would make a large pot of dumplin's, so it had better watch out hanging around town. It may end up in a pot. - Melewi 2011-10-08 06:25:48 | Comments | Printable version
