Forest Hills chicken heads for greener pastures

From DNA Info:

Forest Hills has lost its favorite pet to an upstate farm animal sanctuary.
Queeny, a tiny hen named after the borough where she was found, made headlines this summer after running loose on the streets around Station Square.

“She's doing incredibly well,” said Kurt Andernach, 49, the owner of the 16-acre And-Hof-Animal Sanctuary in Catskill, where Queeny has been living. “It’s a big wooded area and there is so much for her to do here.”

Queeny is a small Araucana chicken, according to Andernach. He said the hen is not afraid of big roosters that also reside in the sanctuary.

In fact, he said, Queeny seems to have tamed a group of roosters that he calls the Frat Boys, who were rescued from a crystal meth lab.

Queeny was taken upstate just before Hurricane Sandy hit.

With all of the chicken heads who have occupied Queens borough hall, I'd gladly write in this one as a viable candidate for borough president.

The bribery bill tally would amount to chicken feed.

Jerry,
are you implying that a even a chicken has more brains than Helen Marshall?

Jerry Rotondi said...

I really can't say.
What is Helen's IQ?

I resemble that remark said...

"I'm a term-limited turkey" - Helen Marshall

Well, one cannot use "h" to denote Helen Marshall's IQ --- it's already taken by the Planck Constant ...

It is true that her IQ is larger than the Planck Constant ... but not by much ...

No word from Helen yet as to whether or not she is going to support Huang's variance application.

Word is that her counsel is looking into the the matter before she signs her documentation.

Waiting!

Helen Marshall & Co. will, most likely, approve Huang's variance request.

Queens borough hall, beginning with Donald Manes, followed by Claire Shulman, has always been friendly to Huang and his associates.
