Sarah and Gwen

Sarah and Gwen were roosting in the coop together the other day and I got this photo of them that I like very much. Gwen is the chicken who survived a fox attack last year, with good nursing care. Sarah is the "boss chicken" at the head of the pecking order. Though these two were not originally friends, they are tight now. The flock of the original four are all quite bonded, and the new two, Sylvie and Hope, seem to be getting along better and better. Soon I am looking forward to adding the baby chicks, Hannah and Rosa - for now they are still inside, and still too small to be outside!
