Blondie snagged herself a snack!
While I was feeding and watering the girls this morning a procession of chickens is zigzagging across the lawn.
In front we have Blondie; in order of pursuit are Crystal, Dusty, LuLu & Cilla.
Blondie has what looks like a blackened worm hanging from her beak and she is not sharing!
On one of the circuits passed me, my suspicions are raised and this blackened worm may not be a blackened worm at all so the order of pursuit is now Crystal, Dusty, LuLu, Cilla & Mom!
Cue Benny Hill chase scene music! Dah, da, da, da, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, da, da, da, dah, dah ….
Eventually I corner Blondie and discover that her snack is, in fact, a broken o-ring!
About now, between deep breaths, I am thinking that thanks are in order for rescuing Blondie from what was a potentially life threatening snack … Blondie, on the other hand, is skulking off, robbed of her snack and probably thinking ‘Well, that is just great, not only do I now have to keep my snacks away from the rest of the flock, the hooman wants in also!”
Anyone know a good chicken therapist and/or relationship counsellor? I do believe Blondie may now need counselling for severe trust issues and our relationship has taken a turn for the worse
