So give them the peanut shell and all?

Don't give them that big hard shell that they would have to break to get the peanuts, just give them the peanuts.

Well taking Bella back to the field didn't go well This is what happened, I let her out of the towel and immedeatly her mother and Lily (her sister and best friend) started attacking her and I was like trying to get one of them off her because 2 on 1 isn't fair and then the dog came a long and started trying to ride Bella, so I eventually got them split up and then I went and put the dog over the fence and Bella was then again fighting the top hen and Ruby (the top hens friend) and Bella decided to leave Ruby who should be below her and fight the top hen who she has never been above, so I stopped all of that. Bella and Ruby then went to fight and the top hen just shot past me and joined back in so pulled her out of it and then Bella stopped fighting Ruby and ran off a bit. Bella then ended up getting started on by my Anocna but she just ignored her and then Bella was having a drink and Lily (like I said she was supposed to be her bestfriend) went up and sat with her head above Bella's. Bella got her stink eye on so I know it wouldn't go well so I got the rest of the hens out of the way and then Lily pecked Bella, so Bella stood up and they started fighting and Bella beat her up (I think she has ripped a bit of her comb off) and then that was the end of them two. Bella seems quite angry with her because I think Lily eventually realised it was Bella and went to stand next to her but Bella was having none of it and give her a good peck. The only hen that remembered her was her other sister and they seemed to be getting on well. Even Daisy's little baby went to try it on with Bella, they had a stare off but then Bella just pecked her and she ran off. It then came to when I was leaving and the girls gathered near the pens and both Ruby and Bella were unsure where they stoof with each other but Bella was walking behind Ruby and Ruby ran off so I think Bella has luckily reclaimed her place in the pecking order!

And also, all the feathers scattered on the floor is what Bella ripped out of the top hen! You can see her white patches!

Bella having a dust bath after all the fighting! She isn't half filthy after having all their muddy feet jumping on top of her! Some of the bully hens kept walking over to chase her off but I stopped them. I let them believe they were going to get her and then I stuck my foot out and pushed them back! Hopefully she will get a good nights sleep because I can see the top hen and Ruby ganging up on her tomorrow so Ruby can get above her.

I love the world Bella lives in

She does live in her own world! I thought her getting a beating like broke her character but once she got a hold of Lily she just exploded into Bella mode! She also got Ruby in trouble because after her and Ruby had a fight Ruby thought she had won and Bella's mother was standing between them pecking around and Bella got into a fighting position, so Ruby did too and then when Bella's mother lifted her head up all she could see is Ruby and thought Ruby was having ago at her so she give Ruby a beating!
