You know I can’t help myself from providing a Ruby update. Apparently the watermelon helped. Miss Ruby left the coop this morning! I honestly don’t know how that is physically possible.
She did not utilize the chair to get down, but did face plant when she landed. Poor girl. (I have since removed the chair.) She’s a bit unsteady on her feet, but made her cute sounds that she does, ate more watermelon, and was picking *something* up off the ground. She did get one tiny bite of scrambled egg, too. I don’t normally provide scratch in the morning, but I scattered a generous amount in hopes Ruby might pick something up and eat it. When I left, she was sitting in the sun.
I’m only working a half day, and if she’s still with us when I get home, I sincerely hope she comes out of the run to free range and get some bugs. This girl is QUITE the trooper and apparently has not quite given up. I love her. I lover her spirit so much.
