Chickens 101

HOME TO ROOST:

-

Chickens quite literally come home to roost each evening at sundown, an activity that is as predictabl­e as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. As such, the common expression chickens come home to roost has implicatio­ns of justice and inevitabil­ity; that is, a wrongdoer must face the consequenc­es of his or her mistakes or misdeeds from the past.
