Who Stole the Strawberry?

Ms. B. Rock (Barred Rock hen) is changing her name to Queen B. She is the smartest chicken in matters of importance. Like when spotting a bit of strawberry with green hat attached. The other girls looked in the direction of the strawberry but Queen B was on it. She grabbed it and ran around with it in a victory lap. She eventually scared herself and ran inside. The strawberry dropped at the door where the other girls found it. They danced around, trading it back and forth a bit but the initial joy had dissipated when Queen B left the scene. The strawberry remains outside as a used trophy, not as the intended tasty treat. They have been in and out a gazillion times. The order of their first investigation was just as it had been in the bedroom when mash was added to their feeder. Heckie (Black Astralorp) is the bravest, at least most curious, as she was first out of the Eglu on this blustery first morning. Heckie was followed by sister Hennie, the not-to-be-left-out, then Queen B who must pass judgment on all things, followed by hesitant little Arriauna, who wisely hovers close to big Queen B. When I closed the eglu door last night Arriauna was peeking out from beneath Queen B like a newly hatched chick.
