Chicken bald back

[doctors girls]

did anybody know that in the 40s and 50s that sunglasses were invented for chickens i watch a program on the history channel called storage wars where they auction storage lockers off when the owners have not paid the rent for 3 months and this guy found these little glasses and knew exactly what they were and took them to a hen keeper the idea that the lens on the glasses meant that the chickens could not see the colour of blood so there so there was no fighting as such as we all know what happens when they get the taste of blood i do know how many pair he had but the chicken did look cute in them and they were worth over $500 so we now know why the chicken crossed the road it is because he wanted to get to the beach

YS has always had the notion to dress the girls up in hats etc. I think the sunglasses would finish the outfit off nicely....best not tell him about this though
