The battle wasn't ending anytime soon. The sooner the better to avoid the chicken generation being wiped out and into extinction. They had to think and fast. Something had to be done. Their opponents where everything but not ready to give up. Not then, not ever.
A meeting was called. All chicken were summoned for a fast decision to be made and actions taken to make sure the win this bloody battle.
Suggestions were brought up by young and old, male and female. Finally, the agreed on one. The hawk was to be called to their rescue.
The day arrived finally. The hawk was called,he agreed but of course with conditions. The chickens had to think about it. It's not easy to agree to such conditions. They knew the loved their chicks but if this condition was not met, an entire chicken generation would be lost. So an agreement was reached. Hawks reward of a dozen chick was accepted.
Gbam Gbam Gbam...
That was the sound of the gong. The battle had ended. The chickens had won and of course with the help of their Calvary, the hawk. It was now time for the hawk to return home with his price. He of course is a greedy bird. He decided to carry all twelve chicks with his claws. What was he thinking?
He had not flied up to a wide range when some of the chicks fell of his claws . He was hooked with the decision of either going home or flying down to get back the fallen chicks. Finally he decided to go home but to come back later.
This is the reason why the hawk still carries chicks up till this day. It is believed that those are the chicks that fell of his claws a long time ago.
