    Becky sounds like a squirrel when she lays her eggs.
    Each one of Sadie Burge’s show chickens has a funny name and a personality, she said.
    “They like to talk to each other a lot,” Sadie, who will be turning 11 on Friday, said.
    “I don’t want a rooster, because they crow too loud. I’m not going to get up at 4 o’ clock in the morning to make the chickens be quiet.”

  • Suspect says cops used gun to make her confess

    A woman is claiming that officers with the Lawrenceburg Police Department forced her to confess to a crime by pointing a gun at her, threatening to take away her children and exposing her “drug habit,” according to documents on file in Anderson County District Court.
