I am amazed!!! First I am amazed at how Roberta went so far out of her and her families way to be really helpful. And, second, I am amazed at how little the OP knew about chickens and still went and got a full grown, adult chicken to live in her Bronx apartment. I think that this is a great plot line for a new situation comedy and if a good writer reads this topic I think it could be sold to a major TV network. It already has a great title...." Stoopid and Stupid"
