The Life of Louie the Rooster ~a story

Chapter 11

It finally dawns on me.

"Petunia?" She nods and hugs me again.
"What happened to you?" She says, still grinning widely. I'm filled with a happiness I have not felt for some time. Settling down in the straw together, I start telling her the story that was my life.
"Well, I was dropped into a box...."

Petunia tells me all about her adventures: at first, she had been at a farm, where she met several cranky Golden Comet hens but was never really accepted. When the farmer found that she wouldn't lay so many eggs, she came here.
"And so," she sighs, "I've been here for months. Some of the roosters were OK. Others were rude." She snorts.
Something's bugging me.
"Petunia, what is a breeder?"
"Don't you know?" She looks at me, and pauses. I wait.
"We're going to raise chicks!"
