Hello, this is Cordelia speaking to you from our Palace. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to have a name. It means a lot to a chook like I. And not only one name, but a surname as well! Cordelia Spandangle. Very apt for a Spangled Hamburg - my mum would be proud.
I thought you might like to see around the Palace.

| Lovely old pumpkin |
First of all the Forecourt. As you can see, delicious things are scattered all about. There are mushy old pumpkins and weeds with lovely roots and crusts. They attract little insects that we find particularly delicious. Yummy hey?
 |
| Brian saves scraps from home and brings them on Saturday. We like him. |
 |
| Daddy Warbucks and Opal - it should have been me! |
Then we get mash and corn brought to us by Daddy Warbucks. We call him that because he must have lots of money to feed us as he does. He also brings us wood shavings for the floor of our house. Luxury!
 |
| Our excellent ramp |
Here’s the ramp that we use to get in and out. It’s nice and wide so that when we feel an egg coming on we can get in quickly and jump into a nest.
We all like to lay in one nest, it’s more homey that way.

| One morning's worth |
 |
| After the ducks' bath! |
There are ducks next door! They are an inferior kind of poultry although I think they are some kind of cousin many times removed. Anyway, they come into our precinct sometimes and bathe in our water! Very poor manners, ducks. This is how they leave it, although I must say it still tastes ok.

| Inside looking out. We can keep an eye on the ducks next door. |

| Inside, Nice and cosy. |
Hope you enjoyed the tour. Lovely to have you visit!
