If anyone is familiar with blue roosters I would think it would be the Delaware Blue Hens :roll: . Most blue chickens are blue because they're cold. I wonder what a "really cold" blue chicken looks like - especially after they're plucked? Maybe the roosters are blue because their hens are frigid? We need to do some serious research on this entire phenomenon next Saturday under ideal conditions! :shock:

His girlfriend laughs at his fear toward his nightmare and suggests all these are due to some physical disorder Chantecleer has. Convinced by her, Chantecleer no longer pays attention to the dream. One day, however, his nightmare comes true. ...”
