Sophia: Elanor! Marianne! Where are you two? It's almost bedtime!
*Sophia pokes head out the pop door to see the two chicks on an outdoor roost*
Sophia: Girls, get in here! Mommy will be shutting the pop door in a few minutes, and if she doesn't see you two, you will be outside all night!
Marianne: But can't we just stay out until Mommy comes outside?
Sophia No, because...here she comes not. Inside.
Elanor: Awww...

Sunrise: anyone else around here got cabin fever?
Susan: Wasn't so bad until the Dog Incident. Before, we used to be able to free-range all day.
Sunrise: But now we have to be in our run unless someone's home all day.
Susan: which is less and less often.
Selena: What's cabin fever?

Quote:
Sophia: BBSJ flashback! A year ago today, Sunrise, Susan, and Selena posted this.

Sophia: A letter from the farm residents department??
Marie: They're transferring a bunch of hens to smaller farms. Maybe you're one of them.
Sophia: don't get my hopes up, Marie. There's no chance that they want to move me. [sigh]
Marie: Well, don't keep me in suspense! Open the letter!!
[Sophia opens letter and gasps]
Sophia: I am getting transferred! Yes!!! No more big egg farm!!!
Marie: With who else??
Sophia: It doesn't have any details, I'm just supposed to send in a form within the next few days with my phone number and preferred destionation...
Marie: Preferred destionation?? Sounds like a vacation!
Sophia: They have a huge list here with places and descriptions, everything from quaint little farms to backyards chiicken coops.
Marie: Wow! Where do you think you'll choose?
Sophia: A mixed flock with at least one more sex-link, multiple ages, probably a resonably small flock...under a dozen...ah! THis one looks perfect!!

Sophia's travel log
MY bags are packed, and I'm ready to leave. They're supposed to be coming Tomorrow afternoon to pick me up. I have no idea who will live there--whether they're nice...what school they go to.... oh, I'm so nervous!

Sophia's travel log:
I am sitting by the doors, ready to leave in another few hours, leave for a whole new world, a very different life than the one I lead here. I will probably not write on the way...It will be too difficult to find my log in my bag.

Sophia's Travel Log
I was put into a box, and traveled for a long time. I have no idea how long it was, but it was dreadfully hot in the box. Upon arrival, I was given food and water and taken to meet the other big chickens. There is one I liked almost right away. I don't know her name, though. I am smaller and sleeker than the other hens. I'm not sure where I shall roost for the night: By myself, or with the others?

Sophia's Travel log
Last night, after a quick meal, I decided to go to bed. I hopped up- on the roost with the other gals, but it became apparent that they were unfriendly, and so I decided to sleep in the nestbox. The bedding was different than what I was used to, the other girls were being noisy, and the light in the coop was on--but I made the best of it and tucked my head under my wing. In the morning, the others free-ranged while I stayed in the coop and oriented myself. as I was doing this, there was tons of human activity--literally TONS. There was cleaning and drilling and hammering...So noisy! the next thing I knew, four six-week-old chicks that I had no idea existed were in a small enclosure in the coop. So, crazy day. But not nessacarly a bad one. Not a bad one at all.

Sophia's Travel log.

I like to spend most of my time on the poop board of the roost, since the other chickens don't bother me there, and Mommy puts out an extra feeder. The days have all been the same, and none so crazy as that first night and day. My life is nice here, and once the pecking order settles, I shall be perfectly happy. I like the chicks--the one called Elanor is such a smarty, Marianne such a sweetie. They are nicer than the older chickens right now. The only one nice to me is the one called either Sal or Selena--I've heard her called both. Admittedly, All the names I know are the three preiviously mentioned--I've never asked the meaner ones their names, nor cared to know.

Sophia's travel log:
The days are getting warmer again, and I am beginning to venture outside a bit. Selena and Elanor and Marianne are very kind, the other chicks and one of the hens remains neutral, and the other two hens not. The days are developing into a routine, and life here is beginning to go from not bad to seriously enjoyable, besides the pecking order. Once the Order straigtens out--with me at the bottom, I fear--ther'll be no point in keeping a log, but I shall do so anyway, as I enjoy keeping a diary.

Sophia's Travel log.
I am just starting to realize now that my life is not a square, penned in coop and run. The piney scented woods go on what seems like forever in every direction, there are no fences, no barriers separating us from the tall grasses and stands of birches waving beside the dainty stream. There is no ever-permeating odor here like there was at the farm, it smells of fresh mud and pine trees. Springtime here is truly lovely--not merely pretty, but lovely, trilliums and wild roses blooming everywhere you look. When I first came here, it was drabber than the farm, but now, the land is exploding with springtime.
On a completely different and much less philosophical note, Sunday I meet the neighbor chickens for the first time--exciting--but also a little scary.

Sophia's travel log:
The larches have not budded yet. It is not really spring, so Sal says, until ...
Sal: I saw you write my name! What are you writing about me?
Sophia: shhh! ...the larches bud. They are the last of the trees to bud in the.....
Marianne: Sophie! What are you writing in that little book?
Sophia: I'll explain later. ...springtime, and the world will look wintery until...
Elanor: Sophie, could you help me with my homework?
Sophia: IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO INTERRUPT ME?!

Bisquick: It rained ALL DAAAAY!!!!
Buttermilk: PLUS Mommy was gone!
Snap: We're also fresh out of food... Mommy said she was going to get some tomorrow...
Hedwig: The good thing is--Grampi gave us a TON of pumpkin bread!
Pippy: I had like four pecks then it was gone!
Omelette: It was sooooooo delicious...
Hazel: I thought I was gonna pop I was so stuffed.

Sophia: Okay, we need to go to town today. We need layer feed, oyster shells, notebooks, pencils, a decent sharpener, erasers, a new extension cord, soap, and sponges, metal-roost polish, sandpaper, hinge oil--the pop door is squeaking--a snow shovel, leg warmers, dried clover, matches, nails.
Marianne: Let's see...We'll need to go to the feed store, the new bookstore,The Nestbox shoppe, Eggie's Grocery and Drugstore, and Featherbird Hardware.
Elanor: The next Chicken Express bus comes in Twenty minutes. Then the last bus leaves the nestbox shoppe to go up here at three PM.
Sophia: Okay, hurry up and pack some lunchboxes! We have fifteen minutes, then we need to get to the bus stop!
*Chickens are riding the Barred rock route Chicken express, and planning their route.*
Elanor: You guys can get off this bus at the nestbox shoppe, and I can get off at the bus station. From there I can take the nine o' clock Rhode Island Red bus* to Featherbird hardware, shop there for an hour, than take the ten Australorp Express, which will take me back toward Sunhill School. And the Silkie route goes from there to the nestbox shoppe, so I can be back there before eleven.
Sophia: I need to get to the feed store, so I can get on the Silkie route at the Nestbox shoppe at nine, then the Easter egger route, then I can catch the easter egger route going back twenty minutes later. But I can't take the Silkie Route back for another hour, so I'll need to catch the Brahma bus which will take me to Sunset Ridge, which is very close to the Nestbox Shoppe.
Marianne: I will get off at the nestbox shoppe, which is very near Eggie's.So I can pick up some items there, then take the Australorp Express to the bookstore. Then I will take the Serema bus back to the bus station, and the Easter egger route will take me back to Eggie's.
Sophia: And we should eat lunch together, then check out feathercare and the nestbox shoppe.
*Chickens are going home*
Sophia: Wow, What a day!
Elanor: we need a car. Bus transfers are no fun.
Marianne: But they are a lot cheaper.
