Chickens are soft creatures with strangely fragile legs. You have to be quick but gentle to grab them. This is complicated by the fact that they make an unholy fuss when grabbed. They are a prey bird after all, evolved to squawk and flap so that… well, so that you’ll drop them and they can live another day. They do seem to calm down a bit once you’ve pinned their wings and are holding them tucked into your side like a fat, fluffy, football.
Sounds like enough to make one a vegetarian. But definitely to thank the critters in the food chain that keep us feeling healthy. And a huge thank you to the people who do this work!

Reading your writing is like sinking into a cosy chair under a shady tree, even if it’s about chicken guts. Did they go to the pigs?
