mad as a wet hen


in the old south, after a hen laid her eggs she would want to sit on them until they hatch. even if you gathered up all her eggs, she would still sit on the empty nest. so in order to “break her” and get her to lay more eggs, the farmer would lift her off the nest and dunk her in water. she’d then go right back to her nest, so this had to be done two or three times, after which she’d be mad as h-ll and start “fussing and scrambling about” apparently this “broke her” and she’d start laying eggs again.
her husband came home late and drunk again, and she was mad as a wet hen!
