YOU are an inspiration. Enjoy those beauties and take good care of yourself, too.It is a new day at the Chicken Palace.
It is cool, clear and sunny and it will be a perfect day apart from the drought.
My lovely Princesses are reminding me to celebrate life and live in the moment.
Strictly in pecking order (as is protocol in the Chicken Palace, and maybe in palaces everywhere) …..
Diana reminded me it is a great day to forage and good food is what she wakes up for every morning so she can’t hang around chatting when there are bugs to catch!

Maggie reminded me what a glorious shiny mahogany-colored fluffy butt she has and thanked me for the nice clean water in the Chicken Palace but she will stick to the yukky outside water if I don’t mind.

Bernadette reminded me that she is a pretty and impressive showcase for my nursing skills even though I have not been so successful with others. To prove her point she did a little dance and then skipped (no really, she skips) off to join Diana hunting bugs.

And the lovely Lulu reminded me she is a Roadrunner too (same breed) only better because she is a lap chicken (well almost).

Thank you everyone here for your kindness and support. It has been a difficult time and I miss Bella and the Roadrunners terribly.
Starting with Bernadette’s leg it has been about five straight months of chicken nursing and trying to balance quality and quantity of life. I suspect I am not done with that yet.
Maggie will be on antibiotics for five days but at least for now she is happy and energetic and I am determined to enjoy what time I have with her and the others.
to all of you.
