'Bessie' is a preposterous name for a chicken.

Yeah, I always thought Bessie was a cows name lol

Who says cows can’t lay eggs?

And don’t say “literally everyone”, that’s a cop out answer

Actually I would say literally no one. I don't think it's ever come up before just now. Just so you're aware though, those things the cows are "laying" out in the pasture are definitely not eggs

Everyone knows the proper name for a hen is Henny Penny.
