Hank…the Genna Chicken

I would like to introduce you to Hank…our Genna (Christmas) chicken. Hank has made himself quite a home over the past few weeks. He can often be found investigating Zebanay's kitchen or entering through Smith's backdoor, cruising through the living room and if nothing peeks his interest he will eventually exit out the front door. Initially we tried to keep him out of the house, but it proved to be more work than it was worth. Hank's days are numbered so we've decided to be lenient with him and how is a chicken any different than a cat, or a dog, or a mouse?

Fast forward a few days….Hank did indeed become Genna dinner and I must say he was the best tasting chicken we've had since being in Ethiopia. Perhaps it was because we treated him so well! He made a fantastic doro wat (spicy chicken stew), but we were a bit perplexed when we scooped an egg out of the wat as well. Now how does that work????
