• She sees opportunity where others see none. While all the other chickens put their heads down and fight over a tiny piece of grass, Bertha picks her head up and sees the whole world around her. She sees the fight she’s in, and chooses to move elsewhere. To Bertha, the world is abundant.
• She’s not afraid of hard work. It’s tough being a pioneer chicken. The grass isn’t tilled, and you’re left all alone to do a lot of heavy pecking before you’ll find out if there are even any worms there for you to feast on. But she soldiers on regardless. She knows that even if she doesn’t find worms here, her strategy is strong, and she’ll find them elsewhere.
• She moves on before profits disappear. When Bertha sees that all the chickens in the yard have caught on to her new spot and moved in on her turf, she doesn’t try to fight them off. That would take too much energy and she’s outnumbered. Instead, she just picks up and moves onto another spot, where she can enjoy another yet-to-be-discovered patch of worms all to herself.

For all these reasons, Bertha enjoys her status as Queen Chicken of the Yard. And if you want to be Queen/King Chicken of your own yard, I recommend taking a similar path.
