Question

【題目】Are you tired of studying all day long? Do you want to do something different? Teens are full of energy, and some are really creative. The following is from an American teen’s Weblog.

I own chickens. At home, my family has seven chickens. I gave them all names, and they are my good friends. You may think that taking care of chickens is easy, but sometimes chickens have minds of their own. If you are considering getting chickens, there are a few things you need to know.

The pecking order

Chickens have something we call the pecking order. It is the ranking of all the chickens. The order goes from the toughest, biggest chicken, to the smallest, weakest chicken. The chickens figure out this order on their own. Putting chickens together is not easy. You have to make sure they all eat the same food. Otherwise, you have to keep them apart.

Caring for baby chicks

You must have patience for this. You need to feed them very good food to them, so they stay healthy and become immune to diseases. You also need a place for them to stay in your house and a special feeder and water holder. You can get day-old chicks, or you can get chicks that are 6 months and older. Also, you should clean the pen regularly, so neighbors don’t complain.

Anybody can have chickens

You just have to know what you are doing and always be prepared. Chickens can bring families together. They are fun and humorous, beautiful and loving. They are also smart. It’s amazing how quickly they learn things on their own. So why not consider getting some of your own feathered friends?
