When your MC fetches the chicken eggs (or geese, ducks, etc.), they pick up another egg that has a crack in its shell. Figuring it should be eaten immediately (or destroyed), they take it home, break it over a bowl...and out falls a baby bird!
When the bird's feathers dry out, it's clear it's no chicken. It's saffron orange, and its neck is too long, and its beak is the wrong shape. But what could it be? There aren't any books that have pictures of it. The bird has imprinted and it's awfully cute, so the MC decides to keep it as a pet for a while. The orange down soon gives way to glorious scarlet feathers.
The bird grows fast. Very soon, it starts to fly...and one day it disappears. The MC figures it's gone for good.
Until it comes back, carrying a shiny object, which it drops at your MC's feet.
