Jeffery Hen – Part 1

The events you are about to read are true. To protect the innocent the people have been changed to chickens. The locations, occupations, and so on, have also been changed. Only the names will remain the same (Hee-hee).

Jeffery Lynn is a big fat hen.
She lays eggs for the railroad men,
Sometimes nine and sometimes ten.
Jeffery Lynn, she's a big fat hen.


Once upon a time in a land of chickens, there lived a hen named Jeffery Lynn, but everybody just called her JEFFERY HEN . One day Jeffery Hen got married. Her husband is R. Randy Ratliff; but because the first two letter of his first name is Ru and he is a rooster, he earned the nickname ROO , which is also the first three letters in rooster.

Jeffery Hen also became a mother too! When she married Roo he had a son. His name is Robert Ratliff, because of the b-e-r letters in his name, they just added the letter 'a' to it, making it b- e-a-r; so he earned the nickname BEAR .

Jeffery Hen became a wife, mother and hen house homemaker all in one day. The only thing she ever did in her life was eat and sleep; so she didn't know what to expect next. They were all a family of three. They lived in a community named Chickenville (Gainesville). Their home was a four chicken chicken house, it was only big enough for four chickens.


Roo's main duty to his community was to be the "Town Crower." Quick as the sunrises and the light shines through the opened window, Roo will fly out the window and perch on the highest limb of the Redwood tree in the middle of the yard. When Roo crows to wake up the town; all of the other roosters get up first to go look for whatever they can and bring it back to the picking ground for all the hens and pullets, as well as themselves, to eat. When the roosters return with the grass, straw, weed seeds or whatever. Roo will stop crowing; this is the message to everybody that is is time to eat. Roo always waits till he sees Jeffery Hen and Bear outside before he would fly out of the tree and join his family for the morning meal.


The four chicken hen house was about three square foot, it sits on four cement blocks. Inside there is a roosting perch where three chickens can sit in comfort; there was also a nesting box for the hen to set. There was a window and a door. As time when by, Jeffery Hen wanted to start a family of her own; she wanted to have a chick to pamper. She would watch the other hens in the area eat and protect their chicks. The only chick she had was Bear and he is too big to be a baby.
