I raised a hen, named it, and planned to keep it for a long time.
Chicken Gu Gu came to my home when about one to two months old, did not enter the market to see the scene of killing chickens, so it is not too afraid of people.
That's the most beautiful, well-behaved chicken I've ever seen. He never ran when he grabbed it, and he squatted down first when he reached out so that you could hold him.
Timid very, empty long two pairs of wings, a little higher steps will not dare to jump down, God knows how it flew up.
There was a time to look at it thinking, if the chicken also has a beauty contest then it must be able to win, but unfortunately as a food, beautiful probably can only be selected early in the pot.
Good thing it got to my house. Some people say that chickens are noisy because they raise roosters, and there are only two reasons for my squealing, either because I'm hungry to eat, or because I'm laying eggs.
Having a recognized food as a pet is a bit of a struggle, because I still like to eat chicken, and I can only hypnotize myself that my chickens are different than the ones out there.
Every time a friend drools on my chicken, I have to reiterate that this one is not edible! Usually basically shut in the cage, occasionally take out for a walk, will follow people, sometimes let it a chicken outside to play, occasionally go out to see it, be found by it will open its wings to rush to you, super cute.
The only problem is that it can't be controlled anywhere, and basically dare not let it run around the house. If the chicken can learn to go to the toilet at a certain point, perhaps its status will rise to become a common pet like cats and dogs, after all, the hen has a function and can lay eggs. Finally is a tragic story, Gu Gu lived in my home for a year, the other day I went out to play for a few days, after coming back, it has been in my home refrigerator.
The family said that Gu Gu was too fat to give birth to eggs and hurt himself, afraid it was too painful to be killed.
I blame myself. If I had let him exercise more and eat less, he wouldn't be so fat.
Also these days the family from time to time to cook a chicken, I think I have been on the verge of depression.
I guess I don't like chicken anymore. I hope Gu Gu will have a good baby in the next life.
