Hi,
I'm Wiggie (in the brown), and this is my best friend Simon (in
the black)! I know chickens aren't often very friendly with each
other, but I guess Simon and I are a special case, since we go
everywhere together, sleep next to each other and ever share food with
each other! We're two of a kind.... or maybe we're not: could we look
any more different? Simon's a rooster, I'm a hen, he's black and
smooth, I'm brown and fluffy, he's long and lean, I'm round and
chubby. I even have five toes and black skin, and he has yellow skin
and the regular four toes. Even though we're not brother and sister,
we've been together since we hatched (even though Simon is a day older
than me) as part of a school project. My surrogate mom took me home to
be with the rest of her flock, but I was so miserable without Simon
that I wouldn't eat or drink or move - I just lay on the ground and
chirped miserably. Mom thought I looked so sad she went back to school
to buy Simon to keep me company, and at the school they told mom that
Simon had been just as miserable as I was, so they gave him to her for
free! I cheered up as soon as they put Simon in my cage, and they have
never tried to separate us since. My mom says that in all her years of
chicken raising and handling she's never seen anything like how we
stick together, and she's going to make sure that we spend many happy
years together in the future.
