We weighed her tonight and she is three pounds seven ounces, right at the bottom of a healthy weight for easter egger hens! (She was under three pounds at one point, poor girl.)

She's been working hard to get here -- I watched her eat an entire hotdog in one sitting. Fortunately for her, she could still stand to be a little rounder for the winter, so she gets to keep eating as many snacks as she wants. Her sister is quite round and well over four pounds.

(In case you were wondering, we did the math and after eating that hotdog she was 4% hotdog by weight.)

Do you suppose those folks who win hotdog eating contests are 4% hotdog by weight at the end? Does that mean Bertha is now a champion hotdog eater?

several minutes on wikipedia and wolframalpha later

I'd have to say she was definitely in that ballpark!

Wiener puns ftw. When does Bertha get her tiny medal?
