I LAID AN EGG!

by Rosie

I did it. I finally laid my first egg! It is sooo beautiful and also very pudgy just like me!

MARMALADE'S SISTER?

by Rosie

Fern and Blossom were very excited because Pepper laid her first egg and it looked a lot like Marmalade's eggs. Marmalade was one of their favorites. She died last summer and they still miss her.

Ever since Pepper was a chick they thought she looked like Marmalade. Now her eggs look like Marmalade's too. WOW! We are all wondering if she is Marmalade's sister.

Have you seen this movie of Marmalade?

THE COLD

by Rosie

We were scared when these things came out to check on us. Then when they said hello we knew that it was Fern and Blossom! I was happy that it wasn't something else coming. I guess they were as cold as we are!

It is so cold that right when we lay an egg it freezes! And every hour our water freezes too!

For a treat, Fern and Blossom brought me in to their house an I got to listen to Beethoven on the radio!

THE FIRST SNOW!

by Rosie

Yesterday we got to free range. All of a sudden we noticed little white things started falling from the sky. They looked like little downy feathers. They were really cold on our wattles! All of us Littles got kind of nervous but Dottie told us what it was so then we didn't worry.

Dottie has seen two winters. She told us that the snow was deep and we couldn't free range as much but she used to know a hen named Tuesday who loved to go sledding.

When we woke up this morning there was a lot of snow. Now I want to go sledding!

There is a mystery in the hen house. Someone has laid an egg with purple dots, and I don't know who it is.

A HALLOWEEN PARTY IN THE COOP

by Rosie

We are very excited about Saturday because it is going to be our first Halloween!

Pepper and I are going to be pieces of licorice. I am going to be a chunk of licorice, and Pepper is going to be a stick of licorice.

Pansy and Zinnia are planning to be marshmallows. Pansy is going to be a big marshmallow, and Zinnia is going to be a small marshmallow.

Petunia and Poppy want to be bats. Petunia is going to be a white bat, and Poppy is going to be a regular black bat.

Ding and Maple decided to be pumpkins. Ding is going to be an orange pumpkin, and Maple is going to be a more red pumpkin because she is a red.

Even the Bigs are going to be there. Dottie is going to be a snowflake, Lemondrop a Hershey's kiss, and Stormy a spider. Daisy, that old rooster, will be a clown because he has so many colorful feathers.
