Irish man killed by chicken in vicious barnyard attack
NY Post ^ | Yaron Steinbuch

Posted on 02/15/2023 12:58:38 PM PST by BenLurkin

Kraus’ daughter Virginia Guinan said in a deposition that he was asleep when she dropped by that day and she didn’t want to wake him because he was in ill health and also upset that his dog had died.

Alerted about the bloodbath later, Guinan rushed back to his home, where she saw paramedics performing CPR on her dad as he lay in a pool of blood.

A trail led to the chicken house, where she saw one of the birds with blood on its claws and suspected it was the same one that had been sent to live on the farm after it had earlier attacked Kraus granddaughter.

Corey O’Keeffe, a tenant at the home, said he heard Kraus screaming during the attack and saw blood spurting from the man’s leg, as well as a large wound on his calf.

Let’s don’t jump to conclusions, the rooster might have been framed by the hens. You know what women are capable of.

There has to be a great Irish drinking song out there somewhere about a man getting killed by his chicken.

He should have simply choked the chicken.

Some guys in my neck of the woods would think they are letting a good fighting rooster go to waste.

This just proves that Liberalism is deadly. There are so many times when violent criminals have been let go and then became serial killers.

Well this is a perfect thread for you...

What do you call a great chicken?

Impeckable

If you ever wish to see a scene of velociraptors in minature, toss a mouse in with half a dozen barnyard roosters...

I saw it once or twice while moving boards near a chicken coop, and a mouse ran out into the yard...

It never had the opportunity to repeat the error...

See blood spurting:

1) don’t become a victim yourself

2) stop the bleed. Tourniquet if necessary. Pack, pressure, elevate, don’t remove dressings.

3) CPR if necessary. No point helping blood out of the body in large volume.

Maybe that was the plan and the rooster twigged it!

Bad idea to send a “Tasmainian Chicken” to an old man already in poor health.
I am assuming the guilty bird was neutralized by wringing his feathery neck, plucked, washed and roasted with garlic and tarragon. This can be served at the old man’s Wake or memorial

Not sure about that, but this song might possibly be applied to the chicken (if the little pecker's name was "Clancy").
