"Bobbin's nature was to steal socks. We've got her trained to only steal particular handkerchiefs made for her, and bent nails." Eddie gives a little shrug. "We hide the handkerchiefs around the farm and she goes looking for them, then drops them in the box John made for her."

He points out a wooden box with a slot on top, attached to the wall of the coop at a comfortable height for a chicken to drop things inside. The box is labelled 'Bobbin's Loot'.

"As for the bent nails, she was bothering one of our friends who was fixing up a cabin in the woods... stealing tools and good nails. So Sam trained her to collect the bent ones. And I take those in to River's forge every so often to get 'em recast."

Beat.

"Would you like to hide some handkerchiefs for Bobbin?"
