LUFKIN, TX – Local resident, Bubba Jenkins, made waves in the small town of Onalaska last week when his weekend DIY project took an unexpected turn. What started as a plan to build a storage shed in his backyard quickly turned into a fully functional chicken coop, much to the confusion of Jenkins and his neighbors.
“I ain’t never seen such a fancy chicken coop in my life,” commented Mildred Thompson, a neighbor who witnessed the structure’s rapid transformation. “Bubba may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he sure knows how to build a coop.”
When asked about the mix-up, Jenkins adamantly defended his actions, claiming that he had always intended to build a chicken coop all along. “I was just trying to give my tools a place to stay, but then I realized my chickens needed a new home too,” Jenkins explained, scratching his head in confusion.
Local news outlets including Eastexasnews.com and Polkcountytoday.com have been abuzz with speculation about Jenkins’ true intentions. Some believe it was a stroke of genius, while others think it was just a case of mistaken identity when it came to building materials.
In response to the newfound attention, Jenkins has decided to embrace his accidental chicken-rearing hobby and has even begun selling fresh eggs to his neighbors. “I reckon I’ll just go with the flow and see where this coop takes me,” Jenkins stated with a shrug.
As for his original plans for a shed, Jenkins remains optimistic. “I’ll get around to building that shed one of these days,” he promised, though his neighbors remain skeptical.
