Well, my family caught the chicken bug! One April, a few days after I turned 12 years old, I went to a spring break program, not far from where I live. After we finished our gardening duties each day, we would go and see the chickens. We attempted to catch them and fed them some stale bread, and we also named a few. When I first held one, I discovered that she was very sweet, even though she pooped on me. She was a Buff Orpington.
