Our poor girls! Damn this country and its crazy weather!
Chicken Houdini
We have a real nuisance to deal with right now in the form of our best-feathered ex-battery hen, Galadriel. She’s much more people-friendly than the others, who are still quite skittish around us—which is understandable after their year in hell—but she’s grown her feathers back so rapidly she needs to have one of her wings clipped again.
She enjoys flying, we’ve discovered, and keeps soaring out of the generous enclosure and making straight for our fledgling fruit bushes. She is especially fond of strawberry plants as well, knowing she isn’t supposed to have them—that I shout and chase her—because she conducts high-speed raids and runs away cackling whenever she snatches a leaf. It’s funny as well as annoying.
