For one tiny hen to rejoin the flock after her tormentor is gone?One week.
Betty is back in the coop with the other chickens of her own accord, unscathed and unpecked. So far, at least.
She is nervous as hell but she is a brave little hen and is holding her ground.
Now. If the other chickens can just grow back those Sam-scratched-tail feathers, I'll be perfectly happy.
In the story of Sam there must be an allegory about tyranny and patriarchy and bad ends...
ReplyDelete...as well as the inner strength of the chicken sisterhood...
ReplyDeleteHaha, capitalise that and it sounds like a winning best seller :)
ReplyDeleteJo- But will roosters listen? No. They will not!
ReplyDeleteNancy C- The henhood! Let's hear it for sister-wife-hens!
Jo- Mmmm...
Yay for Betty Boop! I love her...
ReplyDeleteMs. Fleur- Yes! We do love our Miss Betty. She's so courageous.
ReplyDeleteMs. Betty is tougher than we all gave her credit for. She had the last laugh on that lecherous old Sam!
ReplyDeleteCan just imagine you and O sitting in your chairs by the hen pen, clucking at their doin's. =o) N2
ReplyDeleteHappy news!
ReplyDeleteThis makes those chicken legs in the pot image well worth my horror!
ReplyDeleteYay Betty.
Rachel- I hope so!
ReplyDeleteN2- Oh Lord. We do love to watch the chickens, Owen and me.
Ginger- I think so.
Bethany- Yes. All worthwhile. Plus- those chicken and dumplings were awesome!
Great news!
