But the thing I wonder is Where on Earth did he find "18 odd chickens"? I know that cats are odd, and I have seen some strange rabbits, but just what makes a chicken odd? 17 chickens would be an odd number of chickens, but eighteen?
I am so confused. Silly, too.
Well, it is December now, so on with the Christmas celebrations!

I've always thought that chickens are odd.
Shouldn't odd chickens be in odd numbers?
I love the adjectives in this article. I'm thinking the "odd" chickens means that they are of mixed breeds???
Or maybe they are just weird.
Either way, it made for entertaining reading.
Chuck, I saw some at the fair-- hoo, boy! Weird, indeed.
Grace, my thinking as well.
Lin, I think you thought it through better than I did. I have heard an expression such as "twenty odd" things which I took to mean some number in the twenties. But "17 odd" just threw me.
Nothing like reports in small-town newspapers. The reports concerning happenings by the Greenfield newspaper while we lived close to there usually ended with, "and a good time was had by all."
Vee, so happy to live in a small town with a daily paper. Even though I can sometimes read the entire thing in three minutes, it is worth the price of admission!
