I wrote that not just for you, but for anyone thinking about taking a wild animal into their home and trying to keep it as a pet. Before I lived with the opossum, I didn't see anything wrong with trying to tame wild animals. But now, I understand that it isn't right to impose our will upon wild creatures.

And yes, chickens are stupid. After raising about 25 for a livestock show, I couldn't eat chicken for 2 years. Good thing it was before my IBS! Now days I only remember the good things... which sometimes also illuminate how little brains they have. To give you an example, when they were little yellow fluff balls, they were so fun to watch. Incredibly cute and the sweetest sounds! And it was hilarious watching them run across their 4 foot pen to try to take flight and jump the cardboard wall we set up to keep them in. Inevitably, they would never be able to leap high enough or even take flight and would hit the wall. It was sad, but also side spittingly funny to watch them do this repeatedly. I know that sounds cruel, but it was so hard not to laugh at them.
