New Delhi, April 29: A hen, in Longchang county, Sichuan province, has given up the desire to live ever since its romance with a rooster came to end.

Zhou Huiying got a rooster to give company to his hen in January. They lived happily and shared food with one another.

However, after complaints about the rooster''s crowing, Zhou had to kill it, reports the China Daily.

Since then, the hen has been trying to kill itself by running into the wall and has refused to eat.

"It used to lay an egg every day, but it stopped since the cock was killed. Every time I talked to it, the hen would eat something for a few days but it always feel sad about the dead cock," Zhou said. (ANI)
