Scootaloo was saved and raised by a flock of chickens, then sent out to meet her destiny with her own people. But can she adjust? Can she learn to fly, when she was taught not to?
I'm a writer of fluff, kibitzer, and especially interested in canon AU: Equestria Girls, the comics, etc. They are fun to play with.

Lovely story. This is the second "Scootaloo was actually raised by chickens" story to treat the topic with a semi-straight face, and I've really enjoyed both of them. Great build-up and revelation about Scootaloo's family and origins - especially good timing and treatment with the reveal about how she came to be among the chickens.
818548 Thank you! First fic ever, actually!
I normally dislike the Scootaloo/Chicken meme... but this story is actually quite interesting...
I shall be watching this...
818665 Thanks! Yeah, I realized partway through that it had Been Done, but decided to finish anyhow. Glad you liked it!

It doesn't matter if something has 'been done' its whether you can do it well and stand out for it. I think you're managing to do that fairly well.
Amazing, u capture RD way of talking perfectly. Keep up the good work
818548
May I ask for the first one?
This needs a sequel. NAOW
Chicken Book,
I C WUT U DID THAR
Very nice story, also congrats on making your first fic!
818864 Indeed
818921 NAW I SEE IT 2
Really nice story :D You should see about continuing this if you haven't really considered it :D

Sure, it's called "Scootaloo's Parents." It was on EQD.
818794 That is a HUGE compliment. It's what I tried to do hardest. Thanks!
This is a really cool idea. I like it a lot- and your writing is quite good.
Write on!
818864 Aw, thanks. I hadn't planned one, but maybe I will.
820500 you should I'm looking forward to Scootaloo's parents (assuming Dash's friend is the mother), ponies finding out about her chicken nature, Rainbow helping with flying lessons.
There is so much potential and your first chapter was really good
Personally, I always saw the Scootaloo is a chicken joke as just that, a joke on her expense. So I never really bothered with stories that played the whole thing straight. But since you left such a nice comment on my story, I thought I'd at least give this one a chance.
And I liked it. Still not a fan of the premise, but you pulled it off quite well. I especially liked the part about the faller foals and the comparison of pegasi foals to bird chicks. The part where Twilight tricks RD into helping Scootaloo was pretty solid character interaction.
Overall a very cute story, good work. Keep it uo
NTL
839826 Thank you so much for giving this a chance! I hadn't thought of this idea as being overly meme-ish or at Scootaloo's expense. Thanks also for the compliment on getting the character interaction right. That's what I aim for more than anything else.
I'm actually thinking about maybe doing a sequel that isn't so much about the chicken thing.
Anyway, thank you again!
If later on we see a background pony (or OC) named Buff Orpington, we'll know whom to blame.
Flock and Not-Flock are, of course, typical of birds in this realm, so it's reasonable to think it's similar for birds in Equestria. I've pretty much always disliked the whole Cluckaloo meme; I was not expecting someone to make a good story out of it. But this is a good story, just the same.
841630 Buff Orpington. I cracked up.
Thanks so much for reading this! It didn't occur to me until after I wrote it that readers might not care for the premise.
This was really well written good characterization well done version of scootaloo with chicken parent, and I really liked the faller foal idea hope to see an update at some point

Why you still not have another chapter of this?
1775385 Aw. Because "Sleepless in Ponyville" and "Wonderbolts Academy" kind of rendered what I was going to do non-canon. Not that Scootaloo The Chicken ever was or was going to be canon. Boiling things down, RD and Scootaloo were going to become friends *after* RD agreed to be Scoots' flying coach. It still may happen, but I've got another CMC fanfic that's about to come out.
Hmm, I always did despise the whole Scootaloo chicken meme, but seeing how you're one of my favorite authors, I gave this a chance. And I'm kinda shocked that I liked it. Have my upvote.
4353609 Aw, thanks. Really! In retrospect, I look at this story and think "blergh," but we've all got to start somewhere. I didn't even realize it was a meme or that it was usually a joke at Scootaloo's expense, since only Apple Bloom calls her a chicken!
Anyway, it's packed to the eyebrows with stuff that I was too much of a novice to know had been done to death, but I've still got some fondness for the little thing, and I'm glad when people come by and give it some love.

What was the other one?
820500 please do because this is an amazing story
