This
is my favorite hen, BB. BB is a Rhode Island Red hen, two years old
and quite the layer. We live in Casper, Wyoming on six acres in the
sorta country. BB is a nice hen, she got her name by being all bare on
the back where the other hen picked on her. We had to put sunscreen on
her back to keep her from getting sunburned last summer. I let them molt
this winter and lo and behold BB grew back all her feathers and is no
longer "bare-backed". She is still easy to pick out of the
flock of six as she is the smallest hen and has lighter feathers than
the other girls. Chickens are not the most common pets but the eggs are
good and I love to watch them run across the yard with their wings all
spread out like they could fly if they wanted to. They do occasionally
get airborne but not for long. In this picture BB is in one of the cat's
beds on the porch laying an egg. I did find one in there later in the
day. Talk about looking for a comfy place to lay an egg!
