Into the Woods

Portrait of Ruth by Ken Ilgunas

Ken took a lot of chicken pictures today. Here are a couple of them.

Ruth, by the way, is a Golden Comet chicken, and Chastity is a Barred Rock. Ruth seems to have the most personality. She was the dominant chicken in the pecking order for a long time, but Chastity has now pecked her way into this role. The other Barred Rock, Patience, has not been out and about much lately. She’s in a setting mood. We have to push her off the nest from time to time to make sure she eats and drinks.
