Uncle John's Prize Rooster
Uncle John was in the fertilized egg business when I was young. He had several hundred layers, called pullets,and
8 or ten roosters whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.
My uncle kept records, and any rooster or pullet that didn't perform well was put into the pot and was replaced. This
took a lot of time, so my uncle got a set of tiny bells and attached them to thee roosters. He could then sit on his porch and fill out an efficiency report by listening to the bells.
My uncle's favorite was Brewster Rooster. A very fine specimen he was, but his bell had not rung all morning, so
Uncle john went to investigate.
Several roosters were chassing pullets, with bells ringing. Well, Brewster had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.
Uncle john was so proud of Brewster that he entered him in the county fair, and was an overnight sensation.
The judges not only awarded him the "NO BELL PRIZE",But also the "PULLET SURPRIZE!"
