There are many reasons given for why the chicken crossed the road‚ but a Capetonian has been left with a new poser: How did the chicken end up in my pool? Noele Wood‚ of Table View‚ woke up to find a spatchcock chicken in her pool on Monday and took to the Table View Neighbours Facebook page to share her odd discovery the following day.“Just fished out my pool… anyone lost a spatchcock… and before anyone asks no it was not doing the breast stroke… lol‚” Wood wrote.The post quickly went viral with her friends wading in with speculations on how the chicken got there and who it belonged to.“I heard that a crow stole a defrosted chicken the other day… perhaps it dropped it. lol that’s serious‚” Diane Stokell said.Claire Balsdon took a similar tack: “Maybe a crow or something pinched someone's dinner defrosting‚ but it got too heavy when they were over your pool. The mystery of the missing spatchcock is now solved.”Another user‚ Sue Delport Gizzahr‚ joked: "Someone’s Sunday braai just resurfaced.”Andrea Lachner plunged in with: “… Heck‚ I know the wind has been super-strong but not that strong! Lol… how close are your neighbours? Someone perhaps threw it in? Jeepers‚ this is bizarre‚ because yes‚ these things are really heavy for a bird to pick up… crazy!!”“… Must be an early chrissy [Christmas] pressie from Kentucky‚" Joyce Johnson joked.The plot thickened when another neighbour claimed ownership of the chicken.“… So sorry my chicken landed up in your swimming pool‚ but yes the crow did steal it‚ I’m not kidding you‚” Karen Betheldo said.But that did not stop the speculation‚ and Monika Hegetschweiler suggested: “Someone threw someone's dinner out the door! Someone’s hubbie out there is in deep k*k.”Attempts by TMG Digital to get hold of Wood and Betheldo were unsuccessful.– TMG Digital..
