I had an Irish chicken in France, found her on the road at Killavullen, near Mallow close to the Cognac Brandy family ancestral home, which is called Bally Mac Moy.
Had it been a ****, I would have christened him " Mac Poule ".
I was driving from Mallow, in Ireland, to France via Wexford. For a change, I went by the river Blackwater which passes as the foot of Bally Mac Moy house. There was a hen on the road, and sure, why no bag her and take her to France, I thought. What was odd, I went via Bordeaux, passed by Cognac where Hennessy (the Irish family) have a distillery. Can you imagine, if I went in and met Frederique, Bonjour Monsieur, J'ai trouve votre poule proche Le Pont de Killavullen!
