of the smaller brothers.
We had one chicken. We called her Male. Experienced holidaymakers know - the name of the pet is given only when they are not going to eat it. In the soup and hot go only unnamed victims. So the man lived with us until he left the rainbow from old age. What saved her from the soup? The reason. She was extremely intelligent from the age of the chicken. We have an automatic ChickenGuard system in the chickenhouse. If you don’t know, read on British websites. As a very young chicken she remembered which buttons and when we pressed to open and close the chicken box. Not only did she use them, she did not forget to close the drive behind her so as not to cool the rest of the winter. It was worth one of us to go out into the yard, as we were immediately under her close attention. If we were sitting and resting in the couch, the man settled next to him. She knew it was the safest place in the yard. It was worth taking the spade in our hands, it melted its wings and went to us. She knew why she needed a spade and how to feed on the worms with the bumps with the spade. Who doesn’t know, the chicken is a predator. She also built relationships with the cock as an elderly wife in the harem. The other birds, including the cock, seeing our position towards her, took her command without roaring. It was funny to watch her lead the herd out of the chickenhouse in the morning. First, our guard opens, then looks outside our Maska, goes out, checks the grid on the back, something clicks. Outside go the cock and cock, check the territory for the insects and dead mice that went there (cat mice did not eat them, but threw them to the chickens), then the cock commanded to get out of the whole chicken. Thus began their day. And at sunset, even if it is cold, the male must always be the last to come home. It was her ritual. Accordingly, the personal place at the very top of the infrared heater... It has not been there for several years and somehow does not form in the chickens of their collective. There is no one who can be named. to wait.
