chicken With Love for Fryer Tuck

With Love for Fryer Tuck
By Jan Whalen
© This story about a beloved rooster appeared in PoultryPress, Winter 1994

Stories & Poems - With Love for Fryer Tuck
excerpt from above:
Quote:
The sun beats down on my back so warm and soft, just like the gentle rooster I am holding in my arms. We swing slowly back and forth in the big yard swing. Fryer Tuck's eyes are closed, he rests his head gently on my shoulder, as he has done before, only this time is special in a different way...

It appeared in the Poultry Press, which I'm guessing is a trade publication of poultrymen. I'm sure it inspired more laughter than tears.

I found the language a little fowl...
