Character writing The First Time I saw… My Chickens

In room 11 we have been doing a lot of work on character description and show not tell. we were set a writing task and we were to describe a character and we were not to tell the reader who the character was. and this is mine.

Character writing The First Time I saw… My Chickens

The first time I saw them was a week after my 8th birthday. They were huddled together in a brown cardboard box. Their feathers were a silky brown, and comb a bright red. I had never seen anything so adorable in my life. I named them Holly and Molly.

As they got used to the long grass in the orchard they were becoming more and more friendlier. After a week or two they ate the food straight from my hands. It felt like a tiny massage just for my hands.

My They are also quiet calm, they aren't the types of chickens that if they don't like being held they would flap their wings. Instead they just wriggle around and fidget. When they're not comfortable (which is quite annoying.) They also enjoyed being held and stroked by me and sometimes my brothers.

But there's one thing that they do that is just so annoying and that is they poop just randomly when they need to. Most of they time they either do it on me or I step in it. What's worse is that they are sometimes very dirty and end up getting my clothes very dirty.
