We had chickens and we named them Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Theta and Omega.
They all had different personalities. Omega never mixed with the others - he was a loner Beta ate a particular type of grass. We had to look for it and give it to her Alpha was the smartest and the most active Theta grew into a beautiful and handsome rooster and last but not the least Gamma lived for 12 years while others died in their young age.
They were all pets and caring for them put a spring in my step,
Sharing this memory wiith you

It is only when we decided to keep them as pets that I noticed how different each one is
I too had taken Physics, Maths and Chemistry.

@arunima25 Thank you. I think we use Chemistry in the kitchen. Right?

@allknowing That's why you have a scientific attitude and could notice their differences. One needs to have a good observation skill in Science

@LadyDuck I have seen that in dogs and cats but never in chickens until I kept them as pets.

After seeing how Gamma went through old age we decided never to have chickens as pets

But I no longer would want to keep chickens as pets as their old age is difficult for them and for us

@allknowing I can see that it is upsetting to loss any pet.

He was poop bound and had we seen it earlier I am sure he would have lived longer.

@sol_cee He had some dry poop stuck there and had we seen it and removed it he would have been able to live a normal life

12 years is a good age for a Chicken to get to.
Would have been quite tough when you cooked it though

It's interesting to know that chicken has personality. It's very kind of you to keep chickens as pets. So, do you buy chicken meat in the market and eat them?

It is four years since I do not eat meat and fish However there is a huge difference between eating what is already ready for eating than killing your own pets.
