Buddy the wonder chicken. This is the story of a crazy, wonderful and sometimes very annoying chicken.
(All human names are made up, not the chickens though)
Chapter One: Hatching
There were 23 eggs in the incubator, some had already hatched, some were in the middle of hatching, some weren't ever going to hatch. In the corner there was one little blue egg that hadn't yet hatched. The little grey chick inside that little blue egg was preparing for her amazing entrance. The little grey chick rested her beak against the egg shell and tapped. It was much harder than she had thought. She whacked the shell again. It was really hard. After hours and hours of tapping and whacking the little chick finally managed to pip the egg. She was sooo tired. She thought to herself, I'll just have a little nap.
While the little grey chick rested three humans were standing outside the incubator, watching her.
"She's been in that egg for a long time!" The smallest human cried. "It's been nearly a day!"
"We'll give her a little more time." The big human ushered the two smaller humans away.
Once more the humans stood outside the incubator. "Mum! It's been a little more time!" The smallest human cried, she really wanted baby chickens.
"But what if she's just resting?" Asked the medium human, she was worried, this was the first time they had hatched chickens- well not the first time, but the first time that they were meant to hatch- she wanted it to go well. Their flock was rather small, they needed these baby chicks.
"Clara, We have to help her!" The smallest human looked at her older sister, she was meant to love chickens!
"Izzy! She might just be sleeping!"
While Izzy and Clara argued, the grey chick hit the egg shell with her beak, her hits slowly losing strength. I need to get out... she fell into a deep sleep.
By now the little grey chick was only egg left in the incubator, and the mum human was getting worried. "We are going to help her." She decided.
The grey chick was awakened by tapping on the egg, she peeped once and the tapping grew lounder. Then the egg shell was peeled away. The little grey chick pushed her way out of the egg and into the warm incubator.
"What an amazing way to hatch." The big mum human laughed.
This is what the little grey chick would have looked like:
