Suggesting Aaron become king is a new development in your engaging story.

I picked up a few small points.

The potatoes showing signs of sprouts - should be 'The potatoes were showing signs of sprouts'

Mountain approached her flicking his tongue at her hand - I might have put a comma after 'her'

The question is what are we going to do with them. You don't happen to have a chicken coop, do you? I really don't want them running around in here." - speech marks needed before 'The question..'

"I'm pretty sure she's right. Chickens eat grain, not fish. Marjorie, Duane, eat your dinner and then go to the root cellar and see what you can find. I'm sure there are some bags of grain. - speech marks needed after 'grain'

Have a great day
Judy

This looks like an enjoyable chapter of fantasy fiction. At first it took me a little while to figure out who the people, dragons and chicks were, but it finally became clear.

I found some minor errors and have the following recommendations:

The potatoes showing signs of sprouts.
-->
The potatoes were showing signs of sprouts.

they'll let you know," said Aaron
-->
they'll let you know," said Aaron. (add period)

The question is what are we going to do with them...
-->
"The question is what are we going to do with them...

"We do have a coop. I wouldn't put them in there just yet, though.
Put them...
-->
"We do have a coop. I wouldn't put them in there just yet, though. Put them...
(no line break before 2nd sentence)

I'm sure there are some bags of grain."

I really like your story and your characters are great. So Dylan wants Aaron to be king! It seems that you really know what you're doing.

What an awesome idea to make Aaron their King! I like that idea! I love how the dragons went and got "big" fish! I'm sure the shark was quite unexpected! I wonder what shark meat taste like as I've never had it before. So our farmers are new to the story but I have a feeling this will not be their first and last appearance. Thank you again for this wonderful story! xoxo

    Thanks! I think Aaron might like the girl. He's going to be pretty surprised to find the dragons knew all along he'd be king. I hope that doesn't give too much away.

    I was wondering about the little lady! i figured she might become a fixture in the story. Interesting that the dragons know and have not spilled the beans to Aaron before! haha! keep writing, just love this story! xoxo

Disclosure: This is not a genre I am much acquainted with or that I generally enjoy, but I was curious and your chapter engaged me. Your little background paragraph was helpful -- I would have enjoyed your fleshing it out a bit more with short descriptions of the characters in the chapter. But it still works on some level, and I think it has good potential. As I'm not familiar with the genre, I won't pretentiously offer suggestions. But I do feel comfortable encouraging you to write on...

    Thanks. This book is nearly done. I'm only a couple of chapters from the end. The other chapters are all in my portfolio if you're interested.

    Brava! Good luck! Again, it's not a genre to which I gravitate but I may check out chapter 1 this week.
