It really only took the young chick a few days to recover from Naughty’s abuse, but apparently it took me a week to muster up the courage to leave chicks in the coop overnight again. Last night the chicks were waiting for me to put them in the basket and take them back into the safety of the garage, but to their horror I shoved them in the coop. They did their best to pop back out and for a while it almost seemed hopeless. That is until I put them in the nest box portion with Naughty guarding their escape route. I opened the coop up early this morning in hopes that my sweet ladies would be too busy hunting bugs to hunt the chicks. Just in case though I have the medicine ready.

Italy 1899: Fiery-tempered, seductive, medium Alessandra Poverelli levitates a table at a Spiritualist séance in Naples. A reporter photographs the miracle, and wealthy, skeptical, Jewish psychiatrist Camillo Lombardi arrives in Naples to investigate. When she materializes the ghost of his dead mother, he risks his reputation and fortune to finance a tour of the Continent, challenging the scientific and academic elite of Europe to test Alessandra’s mysterious powers. She will help him rewrite Science. His fee will help her escape her sadistic husband Pigotti and start a new life in Rome. Newspapers across Europe trumpet her Cinderella story and baffling successes, and the public demands to know – does the “Queen of Spirits” really have supernatural powers? Nigel Huxley is convinced she’s simply another vulgar, Italian trickster. The icy, aristocratic detective for England’s Society for the Investigation of Mediums launches a plot to trap and expose her. Meanwhile, the Vatican is quietly digging up her childhood secrets, desperate to discredit her supernatural powers; her abusive husband Pigotti is coming to kill her; and the tarot cards predict catastrophe.

Inspired by the true-life story of controversial Italian medium Eusapia Palladino (1854-1918), The Witch of Napoli masterfully resurrects the bitter,19th-century battle between Science and religion over the possibility of an afterlife, while earning praise from Kirkus Reviews as an “enchanting and graceful narrative that absorbs readers from the first page.”
