Skyes chickens story

We got 7 chickens in April.  Their names areGustavus, TinTin, Sunny, Ari, Bennett, Peaches and Anna.  We brought them home in a box and we were sooo happy.  My brothers were too.  When we brought them home we put them in a cage which my brothers friend gave us with a feeder so we had to buy water dispenser for them. After their time in the cage they kept growing and growing so fast. we would play with them and hold and hug them. It was so much fun.  Later when they got older we put them in a real chicken coop with my Grandpa built espceially for them.  People that see the coop say it looks like a chicken palace.  After 7 months living with us now the hens are laying eggs and we sure looooooove the amazing taste.  A few days ago one of our chickens was eaten by coyote. So we bured him but another animals took him out of the hole where we bured him and ate all of him. That was sad. We will always remember our good Gustavus that we love so much and he would let us hold him and carry him and we loved him so much.   Now we are looking for another Polish chicken to buy to bring home. There is a chicken named Floyd and we are hoping that we could adopt him.
