Chase Videos

Here are the videos from today. This first one is right after the fight. You can see Betty running for safety. She finds it in Hattie House eventually.

Goodness - she is relentless.
Hattie's intervention is quite classy (as you would expect).

Wow she was really serious about getting poor Betty. It looked like Phyllis was going to get involved at one point!

The last video I had trouble viewing - likely my internet slow here, but I could see Hattie making her was to Glynda to teach her a lesson!

The way of the chicken….

Bernie really, really, wants that ceramic egg.
I didn’t capture the moment she succeeded in getting it, but she did.

I swear they do this just to worry me.
This morning I touch down at 5am after the redeye flight from LAX.
First thing I do is check my chicken cameras knowing that all I will see is Bernie because I can’t get a camera to see up into the rafters where the Math Majors roost.
Imagine my shock when this is what I see.

This raises many questions:
How did little Eli get the most favored roost spot where she can warm her tush against the flat panel heater?
What is her bodyguard, Babs, watching so intently?
And, WHERE IS BERNADETTE??? I mean she is a big chicken to lose sight of!
I check all the cameras and there is no sign of her.
By this stage my mind has gone to every dark place and I am getting quite upset.
I search the feeds from the cameras for the night and finally find one that shows her marching into the nest boxes at about midnight.
And indeed, that is where I found her. Sitting peacefully on her newly laid egg and a ceramic egg.
Wait, what? That ceramic egg had been disposed of by Babs. Where did it come from?
Yet another mystery from the night.
No worries, Bernie is large and in charge as ever.

Gosh I hate how they do that. Welcome back!

Beautiful! Those two are lovely

How old are they?

Cholo is 2 and Jr is 1. Jr never went through the idiot stage as his his father. Cholo was a butt head.

A bit blurry - but here she is relocating the ceramic egg into the adjacent dish bowl.
