Good morning from Chicken Paradise. Cloudy again today, and everyone is full of energy and ready to go outside.
Meet Pineapple
Today’s chicken is Pineapple, with his big, beautiful comb. It’s about the size of my palm. Huge! You may remember him from one of our YouTube Shorts.
Even though he’s a rooster, whenever he finds eggs he makes a cute little sound and goes to sit on them. Sorry, Pineapple — they won’t hatch just because you sit on them. (Well, they won’t hatch no matter who sits on them.)
He’s very jumpy, so catching him was a real struggle. And he bites. Maybe he isn’t scared at all — maybe he just doesn’t like people. His look: a small body, a big comb and short legs. The proportions are really funny. Right now he’s thinking about how to escape.
He’s tough now, but as a chick he seems to have been really weak. Around 11 at night, he was found near the house across the street, crying after getting separated from his mother. A cat carried him off — and he was snatched back from the cat and came here.
Pineapple grew up together with Tsuki and Taiyo. They aren’t siblings, just good friends. I’m glad you had others your age, Pineapple. I raised him a bit hands-off, so he turned out quite fierce. Ouch! He says he’d like the interview to end now.
A mother hen and her chicks
Yesterday we caught a mother hen and her chicks. Our neighbor didn’t want any more wild chickens and asked us to catch her. But we were a little too late — all the eggs had already hatched. There are 12 of them in total. What are you going to do, Mom?
Little chicks with matching faces are rolling around like tiny pieces of karaage (Japanese fried chicken). Grow up strong, all of you. Ouch — sorry, sorry! Let’s be friends, okay?
Thank you for watching Chicken Paradise! See you in the next episode.
