FACTS OF THE MOMENT

  In the middle of this year 2018, precisely June 23, I got four chickens in two batches, two in each set. My close friend in the neighbourhood brought them all at a gift price. The two in each set were the same in age and size but the first batch were smaller and younger than those in the second. The second set were quite bigger and matured. Although the smaller ones had already grown wings but were yet to be fully matured. Both were alike in their sizes and the brown colours. It was also impossible to distinguish their genders at that age. The only distinguishing feature was that the leg of one was lighter and the other dark. They were all kept in a cage having an upper and lower decks of one compartment each. The older paired together in the upper deck and the younger ones housed beneath. It was my first experience rearing such creatures as personal pets. I watched them as they grew and keenly took lessons daily from their amazing lives. Domestic animals are wonderful.
