Chickens were my first love. Since the age of five, I was enthralled by the hens in my friend's godfather's farm. Later, I kept rescue hens in my back garden in my 30s and I spent many hours observing their quirky behaviour. They were funny to watch. Little dinosaur-come-alien creatures who struck me as being predominantly triangular in shape, topped with red rubbery dangly bits, wandering about, pecking and scratching, always on the move whether it was head or 'arse' in the air.
