I decided to write a little diary-like thing for my new chicken, Little Foot. She is too small to go in with the big chickens, and she's the only little one..
When I was brought home
It was a normal day on the farm; The big turkey was puffed up, the ducks were swimming around, and people were looking at the chickens. However, there was one slight difference. There was one human looking at me... of all the chickens, she was looking at ME! I had never really been noticed before. I saw the farmer come in, and he picked me up and handed me over to the smaller human. She looked me over, and really liked me. I heard the bigger humans say 'Not today, we have nothing to bring her home in." The big humans talked for awhile, while the smaller human and I played. Then, I was given back to the farmer. The smaller human got into this little box with wheels, and it made a huge sound. They must have said something interesting in there- the smaller human ran into the store, and the farmer came out and grabbed me again. He gave me to the smaller human again, and then we all went inside. I soon learned that the smaller human's name was 'Malibu', and she called the other two humans 'Mom' and 'Dad'. After we went inside, I saw a box come under me. I kicked, squaked, and flapped, but I was still trapped. I wondered where my sisters were, and figured that they were coming too... but I was wrong.
After a few minutes of bumpiness, loud noises, and talking, I was let out of the box. I saw the outside and jumped out of the box, then let Malibu catch me. I got used to a little pen, then I saw Malibu take out a bigger chick. It was apparently one of her favorites, named 'Petrie'. She put her in the pen with me, and Petrie pecked my head and my foot. Malibu picked Petrie up and put her back in her coop, then scooped me up. I had a bump on my foot, but nothing serious. She decided that she'd wait awhile before trying that again. We spent hours playing, then it was nighttime. I was put in a bigger box with food. I was very excited about the food, and stuffed my face in the feeder hole. I ate for about an hour- but hey, I have a small mouth. What do you excpect?
