Chickens

I've always liked chickens, since we've had them when we're kids. They are entertaining, amusing, fun to be around with. they ran towards you when you call, or just shake the bag of crumbs. Their silly antics make you smile, and at times, you may find some similar to the scenes in that soap opera about a king and his concubines. 

Chickens are warm, fluffy, and nice to touch. Their feathers silky smooth. But not all chickens liked to be pets. Some ran a mile a second the moment I reach out. Others would peck the offending hand without remorse. There will eventually be a few that would allow you to gently stroke the feathers on their back, breast, enjoying some treats in your lap.

Sitting in the one room for one person in a rented apartment, I'm beginning to miss the feeling of warm feathers, lively cackle, accompanied by the scent of grass and trees.
