Jeffery Hen - Any Day Now

After Jeffery Hen told Roo about the big egg, Roo wanted to do some studying. He took a feather out of his tail and went over to the hen house that had the big egg.

He saw the rooster outside of his house. He told the rooster he wanted to measure the egg with his tail feather. The rooster's hen was still in a lot of pain, there were still a lot of hens hanging around the hen house. Roo saw he would have to wait for a better day to see how big the egg is. He went back home.

Jeffery Hen was in her nest. Roo could tell that she wasn't feeling good. He told her he wanted to know how big the egg was by measuring it with his feather.

Jeffery Hen said, "Well, how big was it?"

Roo said, "I couldn't measure it, there were just too many hens hanging around the hen house."

Jeffery Hen said, "Be glad there are a lot of helpful hens."

It was getting late, Bear and Panda had just stepped into the hen house. Roo said, "Ready to go to roost!"

Bear said, "I guess so. We wanted to see that big egg but it wasn't possible."

Roo said, "Tomorrow is another day." All three of them flew up to the roosting perch. Roo sure can tell that the hen house wasn't going to be big enough. Even when Jeffery Hen was in her nest box the perch still looked too short.

That night Jeffery Hen started to groan and moan. Roo asked Jeffery Hen did she need him to be with her in the nest. The pain would come and go every few minutes. Bear and Panda complained about the noise all night also.

Quick as the sun came out, Bear and Panda flew out of the hen house as fast as they could. Roo couldn't leave Jeffery Hen in the condition she was in. He when to the door and hollered for Bear. Bear said, "What is it."

Roo said, "Bear, go tell Henry to do the crowing for me, cause I have to stay here with Jeffery Hen."

Bear ran as fast as he could to Henry and Heniette's house. "Henry!", Bear yelled.

Henry came to the door. "What is it Bear?", he was still yawning.

Bear said, "Dad told me to get you to do his crowing because Mom isn't feeling well." Henry flew out of his hen house, flew to the high tree and started crowing. All of the roosters came out, but was in wonderment over the different crowing sound.
