Whither does she Wanda

Wanda pecking around in Rocco's hay

We all need routine. My early morning routine is to let the dogs out for the necessaries, let the poultry out and give them their feed, feed the horse, feed the pigs, feed the humans and so on......
Wanda has her routine too; get out of the hen house, eat breakfast, get out of the hen pen, eat whatever she can find in Rocco's stable, lay an egg in the corner, wander off to find bugs and worms outside and so on.....

"What you got in your feed bowl?"

The daily egg

I've not yet discovered where she gets out of the hen pen; she obviously finds it very easy. This afternoon when I was collecting the eggs from her 'flock mates' she hopped back in to the pen behind me as I climbed over the fence - probably afraid she was going to miss out on something! I'm surprised that one or more of the others don't follow her - at this time of year there are more delicacies to be found outside than inside!    When Rocco is grazing down the fields she tends to wander around the yard or the orchard or down alongside the track but when he comes up to his stable she is right there next to him - or behind him - as if she has been waiting. He seems to appreciate the company, letting her peck around his feet and even occasionally snuffling her! He draws the line at her pecking in his feed bowl though (maybe she's checking to see if her egg is in there?), warning her with a quick flick of his tail! She quickly gets the message..... When he wanders out she is quick to follow. Companiable really. I think he is just bemused......as long as he doesn't pat her on the back ....!
