I am a Chick by John Paulo Dacayanan

I am a chick, a little chick from my mother the hen. On the first days of my life, I was in an egg. They say a chick’s egg should hatch within twenty one days. Now that I came out of my eggshell, I can live just like my mother. I love to eat just what chickens eat; seeds and rice. Most chicks like me live on a farm. Some are destined to become food for humans to eat. It is a good thing that I was able to hatch out of my eggshell and live normally to become a chicken someday.

I am a chick and my name is Yellow. My name is Yellow, because my feathers are all yellow. I have brown eyes. Around my neck there is a collar and in the collar I have a small bell so that I won’t get lost. I live in a big and clean house because I am the pet of a girl. This girl takes good care of me. Sometimes she takes me for a walk. During the night I sleep in her bedroom because I have a small bed of my own. She even takes me to school with her! In the evening she gives me a small bowl of food so that I can eat. I like being a chick and I’m really happy that I found this girl taking good care of me.

I am a Chick by Anthea Falzon

I am a chick but I am not a mammal because I am covered with feathers and not with fur. I am a yellow chick with black small eyes. I don’t have brothers or sisters but I have lots and lots of friends like me. I love my friends and they love me too because we play together in the fields all day long. Every morning and evening, the farmer puts food and water in our bowls. When some chicks are born, the farmer calls the vet to check them to keep them safe and strong and healthy. I love to be a chick because I love Spring time in the fields and meadows of the farmer’s farm.

I am a Chick by Martina Doublet

I am part of a family. My mum is a hen and my dad is a cock. I have a fluffy body full of yellow feathers. I have two orange feet. I have a red beak. I have yellow wings. When I was small I was in an egg. In six months time I will be a hen. I eat and drink a lot. I am like a bird but I don’t fly. My stays stays for twenty one days on the eggs to keep them warm. At EASTER time the children draw a picture of me on their EASTER cards.

I am a chick by Leon Camilleri

My name is Leon and I am a chick. My mother is a chicken and she has eight brothers and sisters. My body is covered with yellow feathers and I hatched out of an egg. Life on the farm where I live is fun because I have many friends there. Some of them are chicks like me but Bessie the Cow and Tony the Pig are also my friends. The farmer likes me very much and I hope to grow up to be a big rooster.

Daniel's Story

Angele and James went to play in the park. It was a sunny day. They went to play hide and seek. Angele hid in an apple tree and James was counting on the left of the tree. Angele found a big egg and told James to come up the tree. James saw and egg and it was very big, bigger than the ones he liked to eat. After a minute, the egg made a big cracking sound. A dodo came out and they named him Daniel. They went home and gave him peas to eat and they kept him and lived happily ever after.

Martina's Story

Tom and Clare went to the park. It was a sunny day. Tom and Clare decided to play hide and seek. Clare was hiding in an apple tree while Tom was counting the numbers and covering his eyes with his hands. All of a sudden, Tom heard Clare calling him to climb the tree in a hurry because she found something interesting. Clare told Tom that there was a giant egg in a giant nest. Both of them looked at the egg. To make it more interesting for them, the egg cracked. Tom and Clare were very happy because from this egg a snake popped out. Day after day, Clare and Tom went to visit the snake and they became good friends.
