Chicken Licky Licky

Jess has been off her food again. Whatever we offer her, she seems to eat just a little, then she walks away. Last time, we eventually got her to eat a substantial amount only by giving her a large piece of chicken with each meal. So that is what we are going to try again. Yesterday, we cooked a large number of chicken legs and breasts and put most of them away in the fridge this morning.

Molly, of course, finished her breakfast almost immediately and stood at the conservatory door begging to be let out. She could see Jess outside, slowly tackling her own breakfast. Jess, in turn, is put off by seeing Molly staring, hoping for some leftovers.

As a distraction, we put down the bowl in which the chicken had been left overnight. Molly was delighted and spent several minutes licking it clean! This gave Jess a little peace, but still she did not finish her whole meal. Still, she did have all the chicken part of it.

(Molly did such a good job of cleaning the chicken-bowl that I hope we remembered to put it into the dishwasher rather than back in the cupboard!)
