We have had chickens my entire life. They are the reason I know about death
. When I was in EK (early kindergarten) we he’s some chickens. I named only one of them, red aka red riding hood. Red was the leader. She loved being taken on walks and doing simple chores with us. She was so extremely smart. All the other chickens obeyed her and tended to her every need like servants. One spring day in particular I had a bad feeling. I wanted to spend all day with the chickens but that day was the day we learn how to spell our names and it was a big deal, so I went to school. I got off the van and me and I immediately whent to go see our chickens. My mon told me not to. She could not keep up with me because she was pregnant with my baby brother. I got there and we only had one chicken, red. All the other chickens had been caught by animals and never seen again while red his inside a nesting box silently not moving. We eventually got new chickens and that is how we got goldy aka goldy locks. Goldy was our second in line to be the leader after red. When I was in first grade red got sick and passed. Goldy was our leader. About 2 months later we got an abandoned chicken named ruby-Jean. The owners left her on my aunts front step. Ruby-Jean became our new seconds in line. My brother was like 2 now and was starting to understand death when goldy got really sick and died. We made her a grave and birthed her next to red and our dead cat who had passed a few weeks earlier, trixy. Ruby-Jean was our new leader. Ruby Jean lived years and years untill we got new chicks and one of them happened to be a boy. We now have a rooster, John Missouri Deer. Who is now the ruler and we all want to butcher but cannot because he is my 10 year old brothers. I am 13 now and my brother is 10. Ruby-Jean was pushed back to 2nd in command while John rules the chicken kingdom. The kingdome had done horribly wrong and we can’t do anything about it because he is the ruler. Anyone want a free rooster? You can come take him I. The dead of night and I can tell my brother he is dead. He runs around at 3:15 ish am and pm screaming.
