According to the British media Daily Star on the 20th, Meghan Schmidt recently posted on her Instagram, “Hey-hei, the rooster in my backyard, attacked the baby.”
“I was lucky. If it had been half an inch closer, my daughter would have lost an eye,” said Meghan. In the accompanying photo, her daughter was attacked by a chicken and suffered wounds on her forehead, around her eyes and on her neck.
Meghan then posted a photo of her daughter cooking and eating shredded chicken nuggets in a frying pan. She wrote, “Hey hey nugget.” Heihei, a pet chicken, was killed and fried.
