Betty Spaghetti

Its funny but I've started calling Betty, Betty Spaghetti, and yet I realized I have never given her spaghetti. I decided to correct that today.

Before I tell that story, today was amazing. They got over 5 hours of free range time together. It does wonders for the integration for them to free range together. They had such a wonderful time today and so did I. It was almost like the pre-hawk days. I have so many pictures to share. I will have many posts to do.

Back to Betty Spaghetti.

So I had a chance to sit down and visit with my ladies today. I have sorely missed being on the ground with them looking at their silly faces. They truly seemed excited to spend time with me today. Check out this greeting when I first sat down.

Well it was time for Betty to experience Mrs BY Bob's spaghetti. Betty figured out pretty quickly that I am likely to have a snack with me and she joined the crew pretty quickly on the deck. I started to distribute the spaghetti and felt that Betty might need her own off to the side. Phyllis thought the Betty might need some company.

So Betty grabbed some and headed down the steps to eat alone. Here she is enjoying her first spaghetti.


Hattie was very hesitant to come up on the deck and when she did, she did not eat much. Rather suprisingly she set herself up as sentinel.

Later when I went inside to grab a drink. Betty and Phyllis were sure I was going on to grab more food for them. Betty has learned fast. 😆

Oh, Bob. I’m so pleased things are going so well. Betty looks right at home. Remind us how she became available to you? I think she will have a good life at Fluffy Butt Acres.

A friend of mine got pregnant and decided with the child coming she could not take care of her chickens as well. She got rid of the rest of the flock and reached out to me to see if I would like Betty. She knew I had wanted to add another Polish for Phyllis. I think she actually saved her for me. I did not want to add any at first but Mrs BY Bob changed my mind. I'm glad she did.
 
It finally has gotten up to 18F today and the sun is actually shining so we opened the doors to let some fresh air blow through the house. Look who came strolling in, and got treats for their efforts.

Now they are out in the front yard doing their best at bathing in the narrow strip of snow-free land, and thoroughly enjoying it. View attachment 2991758
Still nothing but a couple feet of cold whiteness in the back yard, though.
Wonderful! I love chickens in the house! 😆
