My Favorite Hen

Silver Queen

My husband caught this shot this morning of my favorite hen, Silver Queen. Queenie is the only bantam in the bunch and she pretty much does what she wants. She flies out of the pen first thing in the morning and free-ranges the yard until she's ready to go back inside. When she's ready she waits for me to go out to check on eggs, then, she follows me around like a puppy. I open the door to the chicken coop and she goes right in. She's the sweetest and smartest chicken I have ever known and I love her to pieces!
