Note from Princess

Yep, this is me, Princess.  Don't I look beautiful?  My feathers have came in nicely and my fluffy cheeks are perfect.  In this shot I have my feet in warm water.  Right now I'm writing from the coop.  Mom doesn't know it but I have wifi and a keyboard hidden in the back of the coop.  I'm finally settling in here in my new home but several nights a week my mom comes out and makes me go into the coop with the others.  Doesn't she know that I'm very shy and skittish?  Every time I get a spot on the inside perches those mean ole barred rocks peck on me and chase me out.  I usually go in early and get a prime top spot on the new roost dad made just for me but they all chase me off so I go outside and get comfortable on the nice wooden ladders mom put in the pen.

Sometimes mom forgets about me and I get to stay on the ladder longer, like last night.  But she remembered and came out after dark and picked me up and opened the coop and put me on the middle roost.  I hate the middle roost!  But what can I do, it's dark in there and I was asleep after all so I stayed where she put me.  It's not so bad now, the others have settled down and my old coop buddies now named Queenie and Red and I finally come out of the coop every day to mingle with the others.  We used to stay in the coop because every time we came out they would chase us.  Now, we look forward to treats like they do and look for the evening bug run when they let us out of the run to play in the garden.  Oops!  Gotta go, I think mom is coming to check on us!
