Some farmer’s kids are painting eggs for Easter.
One looks up and says, “Hey, how do you think the chickens would act around these?”
I don’t know,” says the other. “Let’s find out!”
They go into the chicken coop, steal the fresh eggs and replace them with the colourful eggs.
The kids step out and watch.
The hens come in and nothing, they go about their business.
The rooster struts in sees the eggs and has a fit.
He bursts out of the coop, storms across the farmyard, and beats the hell out of the peacock.
