Jeffery Hen - A Big Mix Up

Lost in the crowd.While all the chickens were outside eating breakfast, Roo flew out of the treetop and joined his family.  Vicki Hen, her husband and the twins were with them and Panda went over to eat with them. The triplets and their parents were out there also, and Crystal Fawn wanted to eat with them.

One of the triplets wanted to eat with Roo. While he was eating with Roo, Jeffery Hen and Roo both thought he was Crystal Fawn and took him home with them. When they got home the chick would chirp non-stop.

Crystal Fawn went home with the other triplets. While she was there she was enjoying herself very much. The family was wondering why was the chicks having such a good time. As they were playing Henriette noticed that one of them looked a little different and wondered why. She picked the chick up and checked it and behold, it was Crystal Fawn!

"Crystal Fawn!" yelled Henriette.

The chick looked up at her and chirped saying,"Yes."

Henry said, "Well, lets just let her stay till lunchtime, cause they are having such a good time with her. It might be good for them to part for awhile."

But Jeffery Hen and Roo was having a time. The chick wanted to play with Roo all of the time, he wanted to stay around Roo's feet all of the time. Roo knew something was strange. After about two hours of putting up with this behavior, he finally left the hen house, leaving the chick with Jeffery Hen. Jeffery Hen didn't know what to do. She picked the chick up and noticed it felt different. She decided to check it and saw that it was a boy.

She was very confused, "I thought that elder hen told me that it was a girl, now its a boy." Before she had a chance to tell Roo, it was almost time for lunch. She said to herself, "I'll surprise Roo later."

When they all went out for lunch, Henriette came over to Jeffery Hen laughing. Jeffery Hen said, "What's so funny?"

Henriette said, "You took one of my boys home with you."

Jeffery Hen said, "I did? Well, where is my baby?"

Henriette said, "Here she is."

Crystal Fawn was eating with all of the boys now. She just didn't want to leave the boys. Jeffery Hen went over to her and checked her. "I am getting more confused all of the time.  Crystal Fawn, you come home with me," said Jeffery Hen.

This time Jeffery Hen went home after eating. She had the right baby.
