JIM: The Horse and the Hen Animal odd couple By JIM The strange saga of Ruby Yates' turkey and rooster brought to mind an equally odd Adair County companionship reported threescore and nine years before that of Chanticleer and the gobbler. The following article appeared in the May 20, 1908 edition of the Adair County News and occupied most of the ink devoted to the Dirigo community newsletter. Thus spake the News: Mr. Warfield Estes, of this place, is the owner of a very peculiar hen. She insists on roosting upon the back of one of his horses. He had noticed this for several nights at the barn, and so one night just to test what she would do if he left the hen in the pasture. The hen finding that the horse was not coming to the barn deliberately went to the pasture and perched herself upon the back of the horse and there she stayed until morning. Mr. A.D. Stotts and family who reside with Mr. Estes vouch for the above. They also state that all attempts to baffle the hen so far have failed. If there is another fowl in existence that will match the hen, let's hear from it.Related: Animal Odd Couple: The 1977 Turkey & Rooster This story was posted on 2014-12-26 16:30:32
