I love Betty for her pluckiness, sass and gumption. Did I mention that Barred Rocks are my favorite breed?

The Smartest Hen in the Flock
Jim made one final pass with the tiller in the garden before I put up the chicken wire today. Betty, the official mascot of Twelve Acres, quickly learned weeks ago that the worm digger roto-tiller provides plenty of fresh, juicy worms to eat. While the other hens run from the big scary machine, Betty doesn't.

OMG she is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love hens! She is a smart one, for sure! My pet hen passed away in December, but she was very intelligent - she would play piano, and also liked to fly up and take a piece of hamburg or pepperoni from my fingers without touching my hand at all! She had a real "eye" for that, and would even come running when I called "TINA!" from across the yard! I sure do miss her!
ReplyDeleteBetty knows the early bird really DOES get the worm! Good for her being such a smarty!
ReplyDeleteOur hens aren't afraid of the lawnmower going in front of their coop, either- they know fresh grass clippings will be flying their way!
