This really made me smile. I'm sure the bit about Monique getting on his nerves is a joke!

Wonderful! I expect my girls would like a trip around the world. Better not mention it, they might get discontented.

It's a lovely story but I suspect our French friend is fibbing a bit here. I bet there have been several Moniques over the last couple of years a bit like the Frankenstein character in Death Race 2000. Consider the evidence, a two and a half year old Goldline hen laying six eggs a week.... mmmm......., I reckon there have been a few 'hen overboard' incidents along the way.

Oh, you skeptic dinosaw. It's the invigorating sea air and exercise that keeps her going!
Good breed to choose, though, Dino, if your cynical explanation is correct. Easier to replace with a double than some of the wonderful rare birds people like you are breeding on here.
All the same, chickens are extremely resilient, as we know, and I don't think it claimed she laid 6 a week for all that time, did it? Even if she did, that's perfectly possible for a Goldline or similar hybrid. And if he just put in at a port now and then, for short stays, it might be difficult to locate an identical replacement, with no local knowledge or land transport.

No, I suspect fowl play at work here. No witnesses at sea, nobody in the next port actually knows Monique and our hero sneaks ashore to quickly find a replacement,he probably has a range of feather dyes at his disposal to create the perfect doppleganger. This is of the magnitude of the Faul Mcartney scandal mark my words.

Maybe Monique is really a seagull with socks down her draws and a rubber glove on her head like the penguin in 'the wrong trousers.'
