This is Connie and Bonnie, The Cinnamon Queens, reporting to you from our new home, Cluckingham Palace. We have had a time fitting in with the ladies here. It is getting better though. We like the farmers and we like our new digs. Connie and I are the low girls on the pecking order. The jesters of the palace, if you will. The Farmers are extra sweet to us and make sure when they throw meal worms, they toss us some separately or we wouldn't get any! The Barred rock girls make sure of that. The first couple of days we butted heads with the Easter Egger ( EE's) girls, literally. There was mild blood shed through the fence and the Farmers had to render first aid to their girls cause we plucked their heads. We may be sweet, but we are not to be toyed with. We can take care of business if need be. Recently, the EEs have warmed up to us and don't bother us anymore. The Barred Rock (BR) girls still don't share well. They make sure if we find something to take it away. They are mean girls!
The BR girls wont let us roost with them yet, so the farmers built us a roosting bar so now we can roost when we want. They also built us more nesting boxes. The other girls take up the nesting boxes- all day- and we couldn't lay our eggs. They are such stinkers!
We really like to recess on the range. This makes Connie and I sing like canaries- but prettier. We have learned when it is time to come in from recess and when it is OK to eat from the buffet. The Farmers also hid a feeder in the Palace so we can eat when we want. Those BR girls -again- have a hard time sharing. Farmer B thinks the BR girls are enjoying not being at the bottom of the pecking order anymore and the power has gone to their heads!
We are learning how things work at the palace. Before you know it, we will take our rightful place as Queens of the Castle. For now, we will play along... :)
