    Man, they had it good if their chickens were like mine. Try getting my hen to not eat!

      The romans may have been an odd bunch but it didn’t make them stupid. They tried to pick stuff that would give good omens fairly consistently.

      At least that’s what it looks like.

        The fun bit is that there were many methods of omen-taking without set criteria for what was good or bad. So really you could use whatever as justification for your ‘gut feeling’ on whether to go forward or not.
