Grandma was a country woman, from Eastern Kentucky. She SWORE to me once she's seen chickens turn to roosters. She said she'd never seen a rooster turn to a chicken, though. Thanks for clearing up a life long mystery and family story. Grandma was -- um -- colorful and imaginative, so I wasn't sure if she was pullin' my leg. She told me this story, for some reason, after I'd come out to her -- the finer points of gender identity and sexual orientation not relevent in Grandma's universe, I guess she was just trying to "share," to let me know she didn't think I was unnatural. I've had an affinity for chickens, ever since.
My Grandma used to say that!
