Chicken Expressions

[Suechooks]

Cock loft - my mother always referred to the house loft as this

[Polly Fouracre]

Like a hen with one chick
Feeling clucky (broody)
A real bantam cockerel(an aggresive man of small stature)
Top of the dung heap (the boss)

My Ma-in-law uses the expression 'Little birds in their nests agree' - especially when our kids were little and usually arguing. She didn't know about chickens who will fight at the drop of a feather!

In the Chicken and egg situation the egg has to come first. I thought that was a given?

Two alternative birds breed a hybrid which hatches out of an egg. Voila Chicken.

There is a comedian I can't remember his name that tells a story of what it was like on the ark with Noah, where a poor lowly chicken was abused and passed around the other animals thus creating a diverse range of animals, for example a cross between a chicken and a giraffe gets you an ostrich!!. This ultimately is why everything tastes like chicken.
