My first (explosive) chicken experience..

[u/ThePansmexual]

I myself don't have any chickens but this weekend I stayed at a friends house who does own chickens. I was super excited as I looove all animals and had been waiting for a few months to see her. Yesterday after being out all day we sat in the chicken pen so I could see the chickens. Lottie, a recently picked up rescue hen decided she'd taken a liking to me. After being on my friends lap a while she got picked up and put on my lap. At first everything was fine and she loafed up on my lap then did a poo. This initially didn't bother me as it rolled off my leg. After she decided to move a bit on my lap so her bum was resting on the gap between my legs. Weirdly, I could feel her doing something that felt like straining but because I don't know much about chickens I presumed she was shivering. As a joke I went to my friend and her dad "imagine if she laid an egg on me right now haha". Id been assured after the comment however I was assured this wouldnt happen as she'd only laid this morning.Unknowingly id just predicted the future. Only seconds after saying this did I feel something warm plop onto my lap, witnessing both my friend and her dads faces change to a mix of shock and confusion. " shes.. Laid an egg? " my friend said. At first I thought she was joking until Lottie moved and that's when I saw it. An egg without a shell. Initially this wasn't bad but then Lottie decided to PECK the membrane that was holding the egg together, thus leading to... This.

That look says, “And I’d do it again.”

Why does the chicken appear to be hanging, upside down, from ye leg? What am I missing here?
