From our holes, we see a small flock of 20 or so chickens! They are roaming around in lush green grass, hunting for bugs and seeds. Its the best thing weve ever seen!
Im shaking with excitement! I just cant wait to get out of this box and run free! I watched as we were carried further out into the field. The human set our box down and opened the lid. It said something in its language and began to pick us up and set us down in the grass.
I didnt struggle this time, because I was glad to be here. When the human finally put me down, I cheeped happily. The grass felt great on my feet, and the temperature outside was perfect.
I waited for the human to put down Prim, Daisy, Lilly, and Onyx, before we set off, running. We jumped, scratched for bugs and played until Onyx suggested that we go introduce ourselves.
I dont know, Onyx. They might not like us too well, Prim said, worried.
Come on, Prim! Itll be fine, Onyx assured her.
Nyx, Im not sure about this either, I say, shaking my head.
Guys, dont be wimps! Lets go! he shouted, taking off in the other direction.
Great. Now he thinks Im a wimp. And hes going to get us killed!
Onyx! Wait! Daisy yelled after him.
In a mad dash, we all took off after him. We met him in the midst of all of the other chickens. None of them had feathers on their feet. Apparently they were all laying hens, like Daisy, Prim, and Lilly. They were about twice our size and fully feathered. I was scared. There was a large rooster in the center of the hens, who were mostly a cream color, some with a bit of brown.
The rooster was the most powerful thing Ive ever seen! He was much taller than all of the hens and strutted around the place like he owned it. He probably did.
We followed Onyx, who walked up to a hen.
Hi, Im Onyx. Whats your name? he asked, politely.
The hen was not inviting. She squawked at us and puffed up her neck feathers. We were so scared, we took off running into the empty part of the field. She chased us for a bit, until the rooster noticed.
He walked over proudly after the hen had us cornered. Stop, now. Its ok, he said to the hen, who shook her head and sulked away.
He towered over us as he looked us over. Who are you? he clucked to us.
I Im Primrose, Prim spoke up.
Im Daisy, Daisy said, almost whispering.
My name is Cloudy, I said, shaking.
And I Im Onyx, Onyx stuttered.
The rooster seemed to be examining us carefully. We were all shaking and staring back at him in fear. Would he hurt us? Does he not want us here? What would happen to us now?
