Name an animal and describe it in 500 words.

The world, filled with magnificent creatures, each having its own unique qualities. The one animal that still confuses people till this day is the chicken, we know for a fact that chicken comes from eggs and eggs from chicken. But really where does a chicken come from? The one animal that is most widely consumed and yet the origins of it is not known. We shouldn’t say it’s not known, because we do know. But where did the first chicken come from, an egg or chicken?
Even I am stirred by this. A chicken it is infant form (egg) can be boiled, scrambled, etc. there are so many ways to cook a chicken, and most of its part of are edible. The Chinese have a popular dish known as “Feng Zhua,” meaning a birds claw, but not from birds but chicken, which is a type of bird. It is my favorite and is also a widely ordered dish amongst the Chinese. Other places of the chicken such as for example its legs and wings, are famous globally. Chicken legs and wings are literally everywhere, you can walk down to any market and superstore and purchase it. If someone who doesn’t know or want to cook but wants it, can also just go to any restaurant and purchase it, for example KFC, which is famous for its chickens.
Chickens are not scary animals; they are cute, which is bad for them. People aren’t afraid of slaughtering chickens because they’re not scary as oppose to a cow. Plus disposing the waste of a chicken after is much easier than disposing the dead waste of a cow. They are easy to catch and easy to feed, even when they do somehow get loose they wouldn’t be able to get far. This is not the same for cows and other large animals, once they get out; the people actually trying to catch them will have a difficult time doing so.
Most importantly, chickens don’t take up too much space. People normally just built them a little house and they can lay their eggs, do their business and stuff inside and not causing too much problems for the owners. Also chickens give birth to baby roosters, which is another useful animal that can help the owners wake up once its morning. Chicken can produce many eggs a day; it is an endless supply of food. Because of the existence of chicken, a lot of people in this world didn’t starve to death. It saves lives, especially in 3rd world countries, where food is a problem.
Chickens also have a downside, because chickens and humans are similar in some way. People began getting diseases from them, for example the avian bird flu etc. resulting in a lot of people dying, and I guess it’s something they developed to get back at the humans for consuming them for centuries.
