Little Minty all alone on the road

Today am sharing a heartbreaking experience about a little chick. I named the chick Minty. 

I was going out for a walk to river Krishna in Vijayawada in Gollapudi, with my brother and my father. I found Minty on the road all alone crying in search of its mother and siblings. I looked around for its mother but it was nowhere to be seen. So, we took the little chick, looked for its owners, but no one was around. So, we continued on the walk with little Minty. 

After the walk, we brought Minty to our apartment and played with her and also fed her. I was very scared at the touch of it, because I never felt a little chick. It felt wet and cold, and the nails sharp. It tried to go inside my shirt. But my little brother picked her up and put her down. Because my dad was holding Minty for so long, she thought my father was its mother. Hahahaha. That’s what it thought because it was following him all the time.

Later, we took Minty down to her owners and asked what happened to Minty’s mother. We learnt that Minty’s mom and four of its siblings were eaten by a dog the previous night. So, they let go of this one little chick alone.  

But I was happy to find Minty, play and feed her for sometime before returning to her owners. I wish I could visit her again. 

So, that’s my little story about finding a chick on the road.
