Years ago I got Dulce, and I guess many of my former and current students already know about her. I also guess time has gone by and since the Covid crisis began things have changed in many aspects, or well, so I guess.
As I came here I needed to improve the quality of soil because it was rather dry and "sandy" so nothing was growing, I needed to give the soil organic matter, add nutrients and so and so. That's why by looking into theory and practice about farming and biodynamics I found out that chicken manure was the best product to do it. And obviously, instead of buying it I decided to have some chicken pets selected from cute varieties, hopefully, all of them from a Mapuche chicken origin. (hipster alert?!) LOL!!.
And that's how I got my new Chickens. I named them with vernacular names and the rooster is called Coyán which in Mapudungun means beech tree (for its strength), the eldest hen is called Ayelén which means "joyfulness" and the youngest hen is Suyay which comes from Quechua and it means "hope". I think they are very beautiful!
They are a very funny bunch, they make me laugh a lot and when I observe the social dynamics they have, it blows my mind! they actually take good care of each other, they share their food, and if they find anything yummy they call each other and they share. If one of them cackles in alarm, they rush to see if they are alright!.
Now my Pet "family" is bigger and a lot more exciting every day, now I have eggs daily, natural eggs yummy! Also, the soil in my yard has improved so much that now I have grass and lots of invasive grass or also called bad weed, which is both funny but positive because before there was only sand and now it's all green.
When I was younger I had the opportunity to live in the countryside surrounded by many animals, among them chickens, birds that are more intelligent than is believed.
ResponderEliminarHi professor, I hope you are very well. I really liked how you used Mapuche words to name your pets and I loved te history of the crop!!! your little dog is very cute!
ResponderEliminarTeacher! Your pets are beautiful, I also had chickens once, but the dogs killed them as soon as the open corral was found :(
