    Ahhh... yes... well... I just can't. It has been mentioned by neighbours,
    with a twinkle in their eye, knowing how soft I am on the chooks. Crikey I
    have waftings of guilt eating chicken from the supermarket, or any other
    meat for that matter.
    My mother told me not so long ago, my Grandparents had chooks years ago and
    Nana refused to kill and eat them. She just couldn't do it, so I am happily
    carrying on the tradition!
    I think I'm too much of an empath... is that the right word?
