The question is, who is training whom? These cuties demand food in exchange for eggs. I am not sure who started this idea, us or them. Henny is the kingpin…er, queenpin. She rules the roost over the others. This is where we see ‘pecking’ order in operation. The two newest ones, Queenie and Jasmine, are clearly at the bottom. Animal behavior is fascinating to watch, as long as it is not my own.

Here are the girls huntin’ and peckin’ in the yard, just as they like to do all day, every day. They wouldn’t come closer to the camera because, well, they were too chicken.

Cheers,
