Best Evacuee …… goes to Talkie Hill

she had been in her Evac Crate for 3 plus weeks at Camelot…..in the designated space for Poultry.   There were many crates,  other chickens of all breeds, some ducks,  Turkeys ,  game birds and Peacocks.  A lot of bird talk.   She seems to enjoy it.  Never seems stressed and always,  always excited when we come and call out her name….Talking back to us,   then chirring and chittering when we come to touch her,  a kind of petting,  but specific to a chicken.  Everyone always loves her and is effusive in complimenting her as the most Wonder FULL chicken there.   This time,  one of the Rescue Workers said she was hoping against all hope that she wouldn't be claimed and she could take her home.  She had never wanted a chicken.  But Talkie changed all that.  It took her some time to say goodbye but she said now,  she would get 3 chickens.  She really wants to. She said she'd never guessed.

we had been waiting at the bottom of the Hill,  at the gate for all that time that Jenny was stuck,  Talkie in Alyssia's car and when we finally pulled inside the gate,  Alyssia just let her out.   She stood and looked around and then began making her way up the Hill road out of sight.  I didn't see her then for a while but with evening,  here she was,  at the door,  as always,  remembering her meal worms and that satisfied she was off again until almost dusk when she appeared as always at the base of the Morning Tree and HOP up….up and up to her high branch for the night….as if she had never been gone a minute.    today,  mid morning,  her familiar voice announcing her intention then dropping down out of sight behind the pellet barrel in the Curry House.   After a few hours i went out and looked and yes.   Egg.   Talkie's Gift.  Food.  Everyday,  Talkie  can  feeds us.   Egg Fried Rice.  Enough for all. 

Talkie.  Beauty Full and most Wonder Full Talkie.   I am grateful and filled with Love.
