Chicken-Little knew he was well looked after. Although he was teased sometimes about his ragged feathers he knew that the other animals made him welcome, when some others like some of the wild geese were cooed at and even pecked, particularly by the swans but also among other animals. One goose in particular received a very severe pecking from a black swan and had feathers plucked out.
The ferrets did not always help either. They were supposed to help the visitors but sometimes they were a bit snarly.
Then he heard that in this case the ferrets - who had seen this incident - expected this swan to be taken into the aviary, and Chicken-Little was pleased. But he wondered if it was actually right to feel this way - wouldn't it be better if all the birds could live in the barnyard together? There was plenty of food, surely?
