Excerpt from Chapter 1:
It was late afternoon, just after four. The sun was getting low in the summer sky when we heard the gate to our chicken yard open. Here came the Girl, ambling toward the henhouse, egg basket over her arm and acting like she didn’t have a care in the world, just as she did every day around this time. One look at her face, though, told us it was all too clear that she did care, and that she wasn’t very happy about coming to see us. For that matter, we weren’t all that happy to see her!
“What do you think, Mama Hen?” Callie Cluck asked. “Will she poke us with that stick when she reaches under us to get our eggs today?”
