He grabbed a small ax and headed out to a coop on his small farm in Fruita, Colorado. Olsen selected a delicious-looking five-and-a-half-month-old rooster and set him on the block. Knowing that clara's mother was fond of crispy chicken neck, Lloyd held the condemned fowl firmly and aimed the killing stroke to leave as much as neck as possible. With a well-practiced hand, Lloyd heaved back and struck off the rooster's head.
