Chapter 4 (bird herder helped with this one)
7 months later...
All the roosters crowed when Faith strutted by.
"Lookin good!"
"Yo Faith over here!"
"Woohoo shake those tail feathers"
Faith winked "Sorry Boys"
She walked into the hen house and layed down in her nesting box. She only had one thing left to remind her of her mom, and that was the single feather left behind. She kept that in the corner of her nesting box and slept next to it every night.
Faith was doing her daily stroll around the perimeters when the two legged walked up to the hen house carrying something... fluffy. Assuming it was food all the chickens ran to investigate. Faith walked ahead and pecked the fluff curiously.
"EY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, MATE?" the fluff ball lifted his head and said in an Australian accent
As she backed up frightened there eyes met, for what seemed like hours, but was just seconds.
"Hello" faith said shyly
"Who are you!" Roscoe the head rooster asked threateningly. His hackle feathers started to raise
" I am Elliott, the top line, imported silkie from Australia, Mate. Oo are you is the question?"
" I am Roscoe the Top rooster of this flock, and you better stay away from my faith!" Roscoe growled
"HEY FAITH IS MINE!" Junior argued
" NO! She likes me best" Fred Objected
A fight broke out. Spurs and feathers everywhere.
"Hey, Hey calm down!" Faith pleaded
the room went quiet.
"I am nobody's hen yet!" Faith exclaimed "I will decide as soon as I lay my first egg!"
