Response from Roberto Cabras; I thought it was most creative and humorous...
Larry,
After extensive consultations with renown world experts who expressed great concern for the
wounded Coach, we found the following:
Dottore Pollastrini from Rome, Italy, Dr. Jacque Poullet from Paris, France and Dr. Wean Chikenizsky, from Warsaw, Poland, all prominent members of The International Chicken
Plucker Association, concurred that one-leg bird would not make good stew. May be used for soup if some beef is added, but that would be irreverent to Coach. Scratch option 1.
Ito Imamoto, Professor of Engineering at
the Tokyo Imperial University and World expert on construction of earthquake proof skyscraper, believes it would be near to impossible for Coach to function as a chicken. He would be always in the precarious state of unstable
equilibrium and unable to right himself up after a fall. Scratch option 2.
Dr. Bon Stikks, of the Long John Silver Medical Institute, believes option 3 may be OK, if Coach is continually watched so he does not get stuck
in the mud. Option 3 is therefore questionable. Option 4, not in the questionnaire, may be to hire Dr. Kevorkian, (with special permission to be obtained by the Penal Institution), to perform a painless intervention. Prior to
the final phase, DNA samples could be taken along with all other necessary part to clone Coach to what could be called Coach 2. Coach 1 could then be embalmed and a monument could be erected to his memory.
People would
come from every part of the world to visit the shrine, Donald Trump may later build a casino on the adjacent grounds, and all of us could become millionaires. We would then designate a Day Of Remembrance and, once a year, we
would celebrate the date by stuffing ourselves with Chicken Cacciatora.
Hope this will help. Please keep me informed of your decision. Regards to Virginia.
Ciao, Roberto

Dear Larry,
I am for option 3. When I was four years old I had a pet
chicken that had his leg broken in a rat trap. My uncle put a splint on his leg and he recovered nicely. Unfortunately one of my mothers friends thought my chicken would look better cooked and eaten. It was years later I found
out what happened to my pet. I will bet you it was your brother that went for option one and probably has already fired up the barbecue.
Cheers Jack

POOR coach.... well my opinion is if he can't walk very good then stuff it. Make A
monument for everyone to admire him. But in the other case if he walks good, or hops,, then let nature take it's course. MAYBE IT WILL GROW BACK ha ha ha ha Hey You never know.
KEEP ON TRUCKIN KEN WELZ & FAMILY

Enzo and Virginia,
That's a tough call -- and one I won't make. I've
spent hundreds of dollars on my pets over the years -- probably thousands -- I don't want to think about it. If you're interested in having dinner sometime I'd be happy to bring the chicken. I assure you it would be one I
haven't built a lasting relationship with! Good luck with your decision -- if it were mine I'd probably choose #3 -- I mean, how many folks can say they've got an expensive chicken?
Ciao e ha una bello giorno,
Vincenzo

So sorry about the accident. Can he get along with one leg? Otherwise, #3, unless you're real hungry!

Hola,
I don*t know any good one legged chicken jokes so you can*t
do that. Tough call, if Coach is a spring chicken and he would be completely fixed after the operation I*d consider that. If there was a chance of
complications I*ve got some good chicken recipes.

Larry,
option 1 only if i get invited for the dinner (smile), option 2, you already have a one legged dog - that should be enough, option 3 sounds the best to me anyway. How about a invisible fence around the tractor????
Hope that helps.
Andreas

Larry, Definitely option 3. Love to you and Virginia.

I vote for #3 if you feel you will get a good return on the investment. How old is he? Will he die in the next couple months anyway? If he's no "Spring Chicken" then I'd toss him in the pot.
Mike
