There aren’t many people that have chickens, and among those there are even fewer that call their chickens “pets,” but that’s exactly what 46-year-old Alwyn Wills does. He has actually become famous in the past for his avian shenanigans, which included hatching a supermarket quail egg, but his bird encounters have not come to an end.
Wills came across a small chicken named Kippiekip, whom he loves dearly and speaks of fondly. He told Bored Panda:
“Kippiekip is a small chicken that nobody wants. She is an accidental cross between two species of chickens and breeders only want perfect purebred chickens… Nevertheless, she has such a sweet character” He added, “For a cat or a dog it is ‘normal’ when they approach you to get some attention, but when a chicken does this it feels kind of special.”
He’s certainly right; most chickens are skittish and never really described as cuddly, but Kippiekip was different, to say the least. In a recent YouTube video, Wills explains exactly what happened when Kippiekip suddenly stopped coming home one day:
“I had a small pet chicken that I was fond of.”
“Her name is Kippiekip. I like her a lot.”
“Every morning she would wake up in her plant.”
“She would come in to get some attention.”
“We would work together.”
“And then, a couple of weeks ago…”
“She didn’t come home. Sometimes she’s just a little late, so no worries.”
“But then it gets dark, I searched for a long time and I couldn’t find her anywhere!”
“OK, now I really started to worry… After three days, still nothing.”
“And then… When I wanted to cook my meal… I found her in a pan.”
“Apparently, she’s trying to become a mother.”
“But we don’t have a rooster. So the next day I got her some fertilized eggs…”
“21 days later, I heard something.”
“The chick was ready to hatch, and Kippiekip started to help.”
“After a week I put them outside. But it was too cold for the chicks.”
“So now they all live inside the house… sleeping in Kippiekip’s plant.”
