AN: Short introductory chapter but I hope you like it. I've never written for this particular movie before, I'm quite excited to be honest 😊 Hope you enjoy.
A Cock Move
Chapter One
It had happened on a stormy night as many stories that people told about emotional experiences did. Ginger had always felt that if they left the farm then they would be able to have a future where there wasn't the dangers that the farmer had exposed them to. How could she have known about the other predators other than humans. She had experience with dogs of course but badgers and foxes were unknown dangers and it was those dangers that had threatened her own fertilized eggs.
She was getting on in her life and having found a happy home several months ago, had mated with her American partner, the wild rooster that had run away from the circus. That was supposed to be the happy life that she had dreamed of as she sat on the roof of the coop all that time ago.
Her tough shell had been cracked and she had placed her trust in another and for the first part of their new life it had been good. They had lived in a healthy environment doing things that regular fowl would have never had the opportunity to do. There were a lot more cocks around and certain hens weren't afraid to share their partner.
Rocky had been loyal though. Somehow Ginger proved a hen that was unmatched by all others. He had protected her and it was because of his protection that she had seen him gobbled up by an animal and there had been nothing for her to do about it. There wasn't a way of getting out of an oven or clogging a pipe or even flying out of the sky in a makeshift aircraft.
It had been a nest, her eggs, her mate, and a fox.
Somehow he had only gotten one of them, which everyone had told Ginger was a miracle but she didn't feel the same way. She had gone from one physical entrapment to an emotional one. There was a strike of lightning across the sky mixed with the rumble of thunder and Ginger could hear her eggs starting to crack open. She would weather the storms in both the outside world and in her heart but her mind was continually going back to the same wish.
If only Rocky, the Rhode Island Red, was here.
