I grew up on a poultry farm, so chickens are very familiar to me.  When I 
was in 4-H, among other projects I had a small flock of laying hens.  I 
called my favorite Emily, and she was a character.  At feeding time, Emily 
was the first one to come from the fenced yard into the house.  The first 
thing she would do was come to me and squat with her wings outspread, a sign 
of submission in chickens.  At that time I would stroke her head and pet 
her...then she would go to the feed.  I like chickens...both as animals and 
as food.  Growing up on a farm or ranch, one learns to accept both aspects 
of the animal world without much emotional grief.
