Chapter 7(sorry it's so short!
)
"Forget the stupid game!" Joy yelled suddenly.
"Why do you always make all the decisions???" Faith yelled back.
"Because I'm the oldest!!!!"
"Ya, by like 3 minutes!" Faith screeched. That got everyone's attention. Even Chewy, the lazy Black Austrolorp rooster. Joy was giving Faith a mean stink-eye. It certainly scared everyone.
"What's going on?" Jesse said as she walked up to the sisters.
"Faith said that Walter should win. Then she pecked me just because I want Sherlock to win," Joy informed.
Jesse turned to Faith and said, "Now why in the world would you peck her just because you want Walter to win???"
"Because he's my_"
"What? Speak a little louder please!"
"Because he's my friend!!" Faith said as she raised her voice. Everyone was wide-eyed.
Faith tip-toed away slowly. She didn't want anyone to know she was 'friends' with Walter, since he wasn't 'cool'. Faith and Joy were on the top of the pecking order since they were the oldest. Walter was at near the bottom of the rooster pecking order.
"I still don't get it," Maple blurted out.
"Soo, what do we do now?" Joy asked.
"Um, just wait for the humans to let us out of the coop, I guess," three Silver-Laced Wyandottes suggested. The fourth one, Wendy, always kept quiet.
Right, Jesse thought, it's still morning.
"When are the humans going to let us out?" James Bond complained. Everybody was getting hungry.
Maple's little stomach started to growl loudly. It scared the feathers off of Pat.
What a chicken, Maple thought to herself. Suddenly, a bright light shone into the roomy coop.
Feathers were flying everywhere as the chickens flew out of the coop.
"We're freeeee!!!" a chicken named Abigail exclaimed.
"Why is it so hot out here?" Faith asked,"it usually feels good in the mornings!"
The flock didn't know this, but this was the beginning of the 70 day journey of heat over 100 degrees in Texas.
a few days later...
Everyone was enjoying the nice cold water in the scorching heat along with treats since there was not grass. All the grass and plants were either brown, dead or both.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Someone yelled from the coop.
