Chapter 7- Chicken TV Guide. Tonight- Survivor, Chicken Style
Even though the biggest little rooster hadn't ever really been away from his little flock, it seemed that while he was off flirting with the Ladies, things had changed. Or maybe it was the aftereffects of the big brown monster attack. The medium little rooster, and even the little Weeman Woo (the littlest little rooster) were both challenging the biggest little rooster. The little women were all in a tizzy. And to top it off, it was raining. HARD!! And was supposed to rain for the next 4 days.
The biggest little rooster knew he had to do something. So he put on his little thinking cap (which looked a lot like a leaf that blew off the rain) and he thought and thought. He came up with an EXCELLANT idea to have fun, and boost teamwork.
There were three roosters. With the one little chicken going to the great Free Range Pasture in the sky, it left six little ladies. With the roosters as team captains, they could have 3 even teams of three!! Yes, they were going to have their own reality Chicken TV Show. It would be called " Survivor- Chicken Farmette" (Because it wasn't big enough to be called a farm)
The biggest little rooster gathered everyone together. He decided since the Ladies were still in jail, that they should be the ones to come up with the challenges. The Ladies immediately assigned teams sent the teams off to their "Camp" to build shelter and decided on a team name while they decided on the challenges.
The biggest little roosters team was assigned the bushes in the back yard as their camp. He thought maybe the ladies wanted to keep him close by.
The medium little rooster was assigned the area behind the older neighbors barn. WeeMan Woo was assigned the bushes between left hand neighbor 1 and 2.
The biggest little rooster set to work immediately. He used his big strong feet to scratch out some of the brush to expose the dirt. This left a nice spot to dust bathe in, and sheltered from the rain. He and his 2 little teammates settled into the fresh dirt and discussed a team name.
He didnt think the little ladies were as sophisticated as his nice mature Ladies. They were coming up with silly names, like The 3 Chickateers, or McDreamy Teamy ( The little ladies thought highly of the biggest little rooster, and had watched some people TV show where the cute guy was called McDreamy) The finally settled on The Clucker Pluckers. The biggest little rooster thought it was still a silly team name, but he didn't want to upset his teammates.
The ladies called everyone to the coop. WeeMan Woos team- The Grade As (In white bandanas), and Medium Little roosters team- The Pot Pies (in green bandanas), and the Clucker Pluckers (in purple bandanas) all gathered around the Ladies. The Ladies presented the first challenge. They were to all go find worms. They had to bring back, and get the worm thru the chicken wire into the little holes in the ground they ladies had dug. They had 5 minutes to get as many as possible.
With the challenge started, there were chickens running all over the yard, and the left hand neighbors yards. Luckily, the Biggest little rooster had traveled and explored all over these yards, so he directed his 2 team mates to the most likely places to find worms. There were chickens running and pecking and scratching all over. The biggest little rooster found a worm and ran to the coop. It took him 3 tries to get the wiggly worm through the chicken wire. Wow, this was harder than he thought! He looked up and saw both his teammates running with worms. He cheered them on as he ran to get another.
When the five minutes were up, the Ladies squawked, and all the chickens went running to the coop. The biggest little rooster asked his team how well they did. They each had gotten 2 worms. He had gotten 3. He thought for sure they'd win.
The Grade A's had gotten a total of 5 worms. The Pot Pies had used their little chicken brains- instead of running back and forth, they used time wisely by holding on to their worms and only making one trip to the coop. Their ingenuity made them the winners with a total of 11 worms!!
The winners got to feast on the worms with the Ladies. The non-winners went back to their camps.
The biggest little rooster congratulated his team for their hard work. They were wet, windblown and tired, but happy. As he nodded off to sleep, he wondered what would happen at the "chicken council" meeting that would be held 15 minutes before sunset.

Now see, if this were on TV, I'd watch it (I hate Survivor)

CHAPTER 8- Survival Farmette continued
It was 15 minutes before dark, and the little chickens all walked to the coop for the tribal council. They didn't know what a tribal council was, so they were sure whether to be excited or scared. The coop was just barely lit with the very dim solar light that was fading fast.
The Ladies asked for complete silence, and then the golden one said, " The humans who play Survivor send someone home each night. But we can't do that. So what will happen is the winners (The Grade A's) will get to go to the shed first and choose where they want to sleep. Next the Clucker Pluckers will go in, and then the Pot Pies. In the morning, the Grade A's will get to sleep in while the others fetch breakfast for them. After breakfast, you all will meet back at the coop for the next challenge."
There was alot of squirming in the shed that night. The Grade A's had the best roosting spots, and everyone felt out of place. But the biggest little rooster saw new friendships had been made, and he was pleased. And no one even mentioned the big brown monster. They were all chattering about how tough it was to get the worms through the chicken wire.
After breakfast, they all went to the coop. It was still raining a little bit, but it almost looked like the sun might come out.
The ladies announced the morning challenge. It was going to be an obstacle course relay.
The starter chicken would run under the string that the humanlady had across part of the yard to mark the new run fence.( Humanlady is VERY surprised that no chicken has been clotheslined on that in the past week). Then the chicken would run, and jump over the first fence post, into the older neighbors yard and onto her porch.
The next chicken would be on the porch. When tagged, they will walk down the deck railing, then around the dog pen into the 2nd left-hand neighbors yard. They'd run under the motor home and around the pool, where the 3rd chicken will be waiting.
The last chicken would have to run under the deck, crossing on the balance beam underneath. From there, it will hop on the bucket, and then onto the garbage can, and the other bucket, then onto their little run. Then it was a race back to the coop.
So everyone got ready. The biggest little rooster is the fastest runner, but big and clumsy. So he decided to do the first part of the race.
The countdown began "Bwak, bwak, bwak..BWAK"
And they were off running. The three starters managed to duck under the rope and ran for the fence. The biggest little roster had to slow for just a second to jump the fence. The runner for the Grade A's got herself a little discombobulated, and ended up too far to the right. She tried to jump thru the fence... and smacked into chicken wire. Darn it!! She forgot that half the fence was going to be part of the new run. She got up and shook herself off and continued on.
Meanwhile, the biggest little rooster was already on the neighbors deck, and his Clucker Plucker teammate was gracefully sliding down the railing as the Pot Pie runner was coming up the stairs.
The neighbors dog was barking. The chickens thought she was encouraging them on. The barking brought the neighbor out, and what did she see?
One rooster was on her porch crowing. One chicken was sliding down her railing. One chicken was running around her dog pen and disappearing under the neighbors motor home. One chicken was running across its yard, and one jumping from the garbage can to the little chicken run. And 4 other chickens all running around after the others squawking loudly. And the 4 Ladies were jumping up and down in their run. And everyone but the Ladies was wearing colored bandanas. She thought something must have scared the chickens, so she went inside to get a treat for them all.
The first team back to the coop was the biggest little roosters Clucker Pluckers. Next was the Pot Pies, and last but not least, the Grade A's.
Just at that point, the neighbor came out with treats, so the Ladies decided the winners would get to go fill themselves first. The Clucker Pluckers ran over. The biggest little rooster decided that even though they won, everyone deserved treats, so he called the other teams over to share.
The Ladies tried to object, but were impressed with the biggest little rooster's kindness. They were even more impressed when he managed to bring them some of the treats, even though he had to spit the treats through the chicken wire.
The Ladies told everyone to nap. Because the final challenge would be held after naptime.

I'm addicted to this story.
I told my pullets about the Biggest Little Rooster and they think he's hot.
Edited to ask: did you seriously put bandannas on the chickens and if so how did you get them to stay on?

LOL, I do have to admit the bandanas were a complete fabrication on my part. I think if I actually tried that, they'd hate me.
Hmm... would your pullets maybe be interested in the Medium Little Rooster? He looks like his brother, and is just as sweet. He doesn't have the same interest in girls though. I'm starting to worry about him.

I'm sure my pullets would adore him, and since Albuquerque is a military town they would observe the "don't ask, don't tell" rule if necessary. The trouble is that since they live in New Mexico and your ID says Maryland, it would have to be a purely platonic long-distance relationship. I travel a lot and am due in Silver Spring around Hallowe'en, so in theory we could arrange some kind of skanky hook-up for them, but there seems something vaguely illegal about that kind of inter-state activity when humans do it. So I don't think I approve of it for poultry.
The timing is also dicey. It's around the time the girls are scheduled to start laying. To make matters worse it's a business trip. Can you imagine a bokking, cackling feathered entourage in a recording studio? It would probably not go over well. I leave the airport security challenges to your imagination because mine maxed out with the studio image. We'd have to do a cover of the Ray Stevens recording of "Thus Cacked Henrietta".

LOL@ skanky hook-up. Ok, I can picture it...

I think airport security would get a kick out of it. A very adorable hen, with little high heels and a bright pink feather boa, maybe even a fancy little hat, going to meet a handsome little rooster in a bow-tie and top hat carrying a little bouquet of flowers and mealworms.
Although I think they might have trouble at the motel. I know some have rooms that they will rent by the hour, but I can't see them renting by the minute.
And they have a song called Muskrat Love. Why not a Chicken Love song. Chickens are way cuter than muskrats.
Look for the new chapter tonight. Chickens didnt finish the Survivor games because the Ladies were set free!!
