DealBreaker – Early on in hedge fund manager Crispin Odey\u2019s relationship with his chickens, he made them a promise, about the things he\u2019d do to make them happy. \u201cI\u2019ll move heaven and earth,\u201d he told them. \u201cYou\u2019ll be the envy of all the other chickens in the UK. Anything you want, anything you desire, will be yours.\u201d And while a lot of people make similar pledges at the beginning of romances, when things are all heady and you can\u2019t bear to be apart for any period of time, Odey kept his word.<\/p>\n
By 2012, his chickens were leading the kind of life most fowl wouldn\u2019t dare dream of. Still, there was one thing Odey hadn\u2019t given them, one thing he hadn\u2019t gone the extra mile for. The chickens kept their feelings to themselves for as long as possible and then one night, while they were all watching a documentary about the Taj Mahal, they couldn\u2019t keep their feelings inside any longer.<\/p>\n
