Vietnam, Chicken In A Basket

 

As we wait in the early morning to be picked up for our tour of the Mekong Delta, we get an entertaining look at a Vietnamese style of chicken in a basket.

Sitting on the entrance steps of a local hotel, we watch as an employee begins the day by setting some chicken feed on the ground and placing an open ended basket over it. A hen is then brought from somewhere inside the hotel and placed inside the basket.

 

 

The real entertainment begins when a rooster is added to the mix.

Not quite sure what to do, he goes stir crazy circling the basket.

 

 

 

 

I am not sure if he is just trying to impress the chick inside or if he is trying to execute a “Joshua at Jericho” maneuver.

Either way, it's somewhat hysterical.
