Becca Update

Becca has been with us for two weeks now, and I’m sure you’re wondering how she’s acclimating to her new home.

I’m pleased to say that she’s doing great and thought you’d appreciate knowing what we’ve observed and learned about her since she’s been here.

She loves feeding time - it’s probably the first thing Becca picked up on when she got here.  She recognizes the feeding buckets and happily follows us to the fence rail where we hang them.  ​

Becca also has a favorite feeding spot.  She prefers the first bucket on the rail, but after everyone has had their fill, she’ll walk the fence line and do “clean up” of any leftovers.

Becca loves the boys - this was evident from the day she arrived.  She runs to the fence and greets them with her tail up and clucks at them.  ​

She is basically flirting with them and letting the boys know that she is interested in them. Becca seems to really like Rocky, and he’s curious about her, too, but he becomes instantly shy around her.  I wonder if he thinks Becca is out of his league - LOL!  

Becca is becoming more social - we knew when we got her that Becca was comfortable with approaching us and giving us a sniff, but within a day’s time, she was already eating treats out of our hands, and we continue to encourage this behavior.

We’ve had some guided farm tours since her arrival, and I’m thrilled that during our most recent visit, Becca ate treats from one of our guests’ hands - it happened so quickly that I didn’t capture a photo or video of it, but it was wonderful to see.

With her comfort level growing so quickly, I’m hoping by next spring she’ll be greeting visitors at the fence.  

We’re thrilled to see her come out of her shell a little bit, and we expect to see more of her personality blossom as time goes on.  ​

What do you think of her progress so far?
