Tales of a Poultry Farm

A gentle narrator recalls the simple joys of growing up among clucking hens, waddling ducks, and proud turkeys on a turn‑of‑the‑century farm. From early childhood she learned the “languages” of each feathered friend, sharing playful conversations that turn ordinary chores into lively banter. The introduction invites listeners to imagine the rustle of straw, the hum of an apple tree, and the warm camaraderie that blossoms when people listen to the animals around them.

The first tale begins with a fussy brown hen who protests a passing horse and his companions as they try to maneuver a lumber wagon across her dust bath. Amid witty remarks and polite apologies from the steady old gray horse, the scene unfolds with humor and a hint of sympathy for the hen’s stubborn temperament. Listeners are drawn into a world where every cluck, quack, and sigh carries a lesson about patience, kindness, and the quiet magic of everyday farm life.
