Chapter 16

When I woke up, I forgot about the day before. It just rushed by and I slept through most of it, after I heard the news about Daisy. I started to preen myself when I heard someone shout my name.
I look up, dazed and totally out of it. I can’t find where the voice is coming from, exactly. Then, I hear it again.
“Clouds! Over here!” It’s Onyx, calling for me. What could he possibly want?
Then I remember Daisy and I zoom off of the perch and dash into the field.
“Daisy! You’re ok!” I shout excitedly. I give her a big hug, and then I look down at her feet. They’re wrapped in white bandages so it looks like she’s wearing boots! I can’t help but chuckle.
“Your feet… They’re ok?” I ask.
“Yep, just fine,” she answers.
Daisy is still a very large hen. She has sleek black feathers, but they are no where near as pretty and shiny as Onyx’s. She has specks of red on her chest, like a Black Sexlink, but she says she’s a mutt. I still think she’s not.
We smile at each other and then decide to go have a celebratory bug hunt. Its funny to watch her try to walk in the bandages. She’s constantly picking at them and she waddles like a duck! I know, its rude to laugh, but I think its just so funny!
I take more notice to how much we are feathered out. We’re starting to get our adult feathers in now. We look amazing, too! Onyx is so sleek and black. His feathers are so shiny, they are greenish! He’s so big and his foot feathers sweep out like little dusters on his legs.
Primrose is pure, crystal-clear, snowflake white. She has no imperfections and has a big tail that sticks up in the air. Her comb flops over her head like a hat and her legs are so skinny! She is still smaller than the rest of us,
I’m pursuing a grasshopper and I’m just about ready to pounce on the thing, when it hops about a foot away. I chase after it.
“Go Cloudy!” I hear Lilly cheering.
That makes me smile.
Lilly is staring to look a lot like the other Amber Link hens. She’s got her own spunk though. She often tilts her head and jumps into the air. And she runs with her head down, waving it back and forth. Her feathers are a creamy color with light amber penciling on her chest and wings.
I take another pounce and catch the darn thing! Finally! I gobble it up and it tastes so good! My first grasshopper in days!
I look down at my feathers. I am light blue and frizzled! I wouldn’t have ever guessed I would be frizzled when I was born! It started to look like it when most of my wing feathers were in. They curl outward and in every which way. My feet feathers curl upwards and are a lighter blue.
They get dirty easily, though, which is very annoying. Do you know how hard it is to preen your foot? I am very pretty though, and unlike Onyx, I am frizzled, which makes me unique. Not to mention, I stick out like a sore thumb with my light blue color!
Well, I like it and that’s all that matters. Its an added bonus that Onyx seems to like them, too!
I’m giddy with excitement as we romp around, catching bugs and playing around. Daisy moves a bit slower than the rest of us, but she still has fun, too. She’s smiling and laughing and playing around.
“Come on guys! Chase me!” Prim yells.
We take off after her and start a game of chicken tag. I fly about 3 feet and tag her with my wing.
“You’re it!” I smile.
This game goes on for a bit, when we hear Jasper crowing. It must be time for bed.
We head back after a fun day of no injuries. It feels good for a change. I’m only left to wonder what in the world tomorrows going to throw at us. Oh boy. I don’t even want to think about that right now. Lets just let this day end in happiness.
Goodnight.

Will you add some pictures of eggs pipping, and hatching? I think you've got a great story coming along! Pictures will help young kids understand the story much easier.
