I am making my daily trip to Gross’ Store in Bernardo on a hot summer afternoon. I usually walked, although I had my bike before I could ride that bike. My 10-minute walk up a country road in the summer heat was well worth the prize that waited for me at the store. 01/25/2023 23:00

How to Hypnotize a Chicken
How to Hypnotize a Chicken
When I was thirteen years old, my Dad taught me how to hypnotize a chicken. We had just finished a 4-H meeting at our house. As we chatted in the yard, I noticed a couple of my Mom’s laying hens nearby. My Dad casually grabbed one hen by the legs and remarked to me, “Did I ever teach you how to hypnotize a chicken?” I replied that I’d never heard of such a thing. My Dad then proceeded to show me how to hypnotize a chicken. It was an amazing thing to see. Here’s how it is done. 01/25/2023 23:00
