Question


Right at the end of the movie, there's a bunch of little chicks running aorund. Now I had just assumed that they were Rocky and ginger's, but then i noticed that there were quite a few of them. So here's what I'm wondering, are all those chicks theirs or are from someone else? Any thoughts?

dont think were supposed to know

einstein... chickens don't need a male to lay eggs. They do it anyway, they're unfertilized unless a male is present so they don't contain a potential chick.

and yeah I guess they're all Ginger and Rocky's!

I stand corrected

HELL YEAH! all their babies are theirs! they have *beep* so much! rocky is a sexoholic! i bet Ginger is that too ;) so..yeah! there are these chickens!

reply

uhhhh....that's not exactly accurate. Chickens DO need a rooster around to lay eggs. It's what makes them lay eggs, expecting them to be getting busy with the rooster.

However, if you take a rooster out of the chicken pen, the hens will NOT lay eggs period. Chickens just don't lay eggs for us to eat. They lay them to produce more chickens.

The rooster actually persuades the chickens to lay eggs, they don't get anything else from him. (I couldn't see Ginger wanting anything off Fowler really can you?) If you notice the chicks with Mac at the end look a lot like she does and so on so on. I did wonder who had been busy until I started to notice these characteristics in the chicks with the chickens from the beginning.

Not sure where you got that information, because they <i>don't</i> need a rooster to lay eggs. I had a chicken for years, raised her straight from the egg in an incubator, and she laid eggs everyday. I only had the one chicken, and no rooster was around anywhere since this was in a city and everyone else had 'normal' pets.
