A chicken story

Posted on October 6, 2007

The world is small. I had those 5 bantam chicks I needed to find a new place for because they consisted of 3 roosters and 2 hens, actually they were just 3 hens a day before but my neighbors hunting’ s dog made short, very short “schrift” of one of them….The 3 roosters were to much for my wife’s ear…who needs a good night’s sleep to be able to perform in her duty as a banker. I liked those roosters, especially Coco, the black one. Not so much Zebra, mind you, or Turkey. One of the hen was a kind of “silky’, fluffy white chick, very tame. I asked my daughter if she would not mind placing an add and some pictures about those poor hens and roosters onto Craigslist.  A la bonheur, it did not take long for my feathery family to find a potential Samaritan. What a luck considering that most roosters are ending their days in a fighting arena. Malia, I have to say, was the lady Samaritan, and if you ask me where she leaves I would have to tell you at some beautiful place in the mountains, surrounded by a goat, a miniature horse, many chicken, 2 belly pigs, and many other spoiled creatures. Malia lives nowhere else than in the beautiful, very sweet, romantic, selfsufficient little house my good friend John Gonczar build for his family in the Koolau Range. John left Oahu a few years ago and resides now near Seattle. You all know where John used to  and now Malia lives…its there where there is that large green pasture on the slope of the Koolau Range when you drive underneath the “Pineaple Road” bride on H2. Malia is the sweet and beautiful lady taking care of the elephant and other animals at the Honolulu Zoo.
