I saw the most interesting thing today. It was fascinating but cringe worthy of course. So one of my chickens had gone missing tonight, and it is a rainy stormy night and my mom goes out to look for the chicken, who is called MeToo. But alas, she comes back empty handed and says she saw a lot of feathers on the ground and so therefore we concluded she was attacked by a cat and taken away. My dad can't believe it, and goes out with the flashlight, determined to find MeToo. I kind of retreat to my room, thinking that that is the end of her. But surprisingly enough, he comes back in a couple minutes holding a wet stinky fluffy chicken. MeToo. I was really surprised, and at first glance she looked fine except shivering from the rain. Well, on closer inspection, we found that she has a hole on her side under her wing. For a brief horrifying moment, I thought I could see her lungs or rib bones. But it just turned out to be a layer of fat under her skin. Sighing and inner sigh of relief that it wasn't a deep hole, but just one where the skin was ripped off, I helped my parents get the necessary utensils ready to stitch her up. And I watched in fascinated horror, cringing at some parts but enduring looking at it with huge eyes, as my father took needle and thread and started to sew up the hole. He did a fine job, but we are still wary if MeToo will survive. We hope she will or her boyfriend will get really lonely without her. And the good thing during the whole operation was that you could cover a chicken's eyes and they won't respond to anything because darkness just makes them stop doing anything. Thought I would share this fascinating thing.
