Bush eggs: two. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: three-quarters full. Surprises: one big one.
The wild ducks say they saw Batty BETTY today! What a surprise to find out she is still alive and well! And it appears she is living at the SPCA (Secret Poultry and Chicken Association) as a long-term resident. There she takes care of orphaned ducklings and is one of four special-agent chickens involved with animal welfare!
So Betty is alive and she has a career! I’m amazed and delighted, of course. I didn’t know she was capable of such achievements. I wonder if this revelation will change Ella’s mind from raising chicks to having a career?
A poem about Betty by Ruby
Batty Betty, secret agent
We thought she would become a homeless vagrant
She looks after babies and keeps them safe
Now she’s no longer a hopeless waif!
Small and perfectly formed – just like myself!
