My family's pets - 2


A few minutes walk from my home brings me to wide field, where I incredibly found several hens walking at the rib of rice paddy. I and my son hastened to capture two of them, one is in white and another is in black. and have kept them in the backyard. They are not normal hehs but special ones called "ukokkei", whose eggs are sold in JPY500 per piece.

  2. Hello Keiko,
    I didn't say my "secret" yet! I was born and grown up in Tokyo, but after getting married, because my wife lived in countryside of Hokkaido and hated living in Tokyo, we decided to move to a place with more natural circumstances. I'm currently living in Kashiwa, which is the city at northern Chiba pref.,closed to Teganuma pond. A reason why I didn't say was I found one of your BBS's contributor seemed to live closed to my place. Sorry if you are embarrassed! Among other ukokkei we found cocks (male ukokkei), but we didn't pick up as they were only noisy and no use (not lay eggs). Even though you cannot eat eggs, let me show how the ukokkei's egg is different from normal one in my following contribution.
