Stripes’s Adventures

Hi, my name is Stripes and I had lots of adventures.  My first adventure was fighting for pecking order with my brother, Pecky.  I lost and ended up with a red face and swollen eye.  Rachel’s mother tried to stop us from pecking, but our mother, Rosie was mad at her, so Rachel’s mom didn’t try to stop us anymore.  My second adventure was when I was on top the compost pile in the chicken run and spotted our neighbor’s truck coming up the road.  I honked to tell the other chickens.  My third adventure was the worst.  I was lost for three days, on the third day Rachel found me under a tree  and Rachel’s mother took care of me with coconut milk and then I got better and stayed close to the house and liked to follow Rachel’s mother when she visited the run.  My fourth adventure was one day while I was walking near the stairs leading to the deck and it was so windy that I was blown onto the deck and against the deck rail.  Rachel yelled to her mother “there’s a dead chicken on the deck,” but I was not dead.  Rachel’s mother checked on me and I opened one eye and looked up to her and she said ” Stripeypoo, are you all right?” she then picked me up  and took me out of the windy spot so Rachel could take me back to the run.  My fifth adventure was going to a new home in Hawi with my brother, Pecky, because Rachel could only keep one rooster.   I hope Rachel and her mother come and visit me soon.

Aloha from Stripes and Rachel!

Rosie’s Adventures

Hello, my name is Rosie and I have stories to tell you about my adventures.  First thing I did was I flew out of the chicken run and straight into the garden to dig up and eat plants was in the garden.  I was getting tired of my chicks taking food out of my mouth.   Second thing was I found and ate a centipede and a scorpion I found under the house.  Yum!!!   The third thing was I slept in the tree and then I went under the house and tried to have more chicks, but there was no rooster.  When my five little chicks grew up, three of them were roosters and two of them were hens.  My life is good and I’m a healthy chicken.

Aloha from Rosie and Rachel!

Introducing My Chickens

I have six chickens, a mother hen and five chicks.  Rosie the mother hen, she does not let me pet her and I do not like her as much.  The two black chickens are Ringo and Blackie.  Ringo used to have a ring around her neck and now it’s covered with black feathers.  Blackie, who I call “Angry Face,” is like Rosie.  The two grey and white striped chickens are Pecky and Stripes.  Pecky is our big rooster who crows 28 times in the morning.  We call him “the big boy.”  Stripes is a big eater of all the chickens and when they go to sleep, I come over to pet them; but, stripes doesn’t let me pet him at all.  The last one is Stretch.  Stretch is my favorite chicken of all, he is the prettiest chicken of all my chickens.

Aloha from Rachel.
