Pull up a bean bag chair and make yourself at home Halo!
Cetawin, the only thing I can think of is that at the time this all got started, FussyButt was still the head hen. She has pretty much lost all credibility with the youngsters of the flock now. All on account of Brutus.
Of course, Fussy is not one to make things easier on herself and just relenting. I have long wondered: If she had given in to his advances from the beginning would things have gone better?
She did give Chief a bit of a hard time in the beginning, right after he became established as the flock master, but that quickly changed to total loyalty to him in just a few short days. Now days, Fussy lets out so much as a squeak and Chief is right there investigating and protecting her. He really is magnificent!
Or at least I think so!
But as to FussyButt looking any different or having any kind of physical feature that would make her stand out, no...I can't think of anything. She's just a pretty little BO, almost 5 years old. Personality wise....well, there's a reason I named her FussyButt ya know!
She always has sounded like she's fussing about this, that and half a dozen other things all of the time.
Fussy stepped into the roll of lead hen after her sister Gimpy Girl was killed almost a year ago by that rotten neighborhood dog. She had done what I thought was a very good job as lead hen the whole time. She always kept a close eye on all of her sisters, even the youngest ones of LizzyBeth, Rachel and Rosie.
But now, she seems content to just stay out of every-one's way.
Poor little girl.
So, if you can figure anything out from that little report, by all means, clue me in!
It's a puzzle that I'd love to solve and solve it SOON!!!
