A lot of time was spent observing chicken and their adventures around the yard.
Little by little they got more curious and ventured further into the forrest but they could always hear where home was.
My favorite chicken had became Rääpäle who was the bravest, fastest, smallest, always picked by others yet by far the smartest of them all.
I'd say she was an enlightened chicken who had in her previous life lived as a Sadhu in India.
