In an attempt to showcase my new ameraucanas: Carlotta, Winona and Fresia, the limelight was hijacked by this nosy biddy. Stella is my buff orpington who was given to me by my sister because she kept escaping from her enclosure. She is curious and demanding. Although she has taken the number one spot in the hen house from Atilla the hen, she is always cordial to new chickens I bring home. Usually trying to integrate new chickens into a preexisting flock is a little violent as they reorganize their "pecking order". The words "pecking order" and "henpecked" are so accurate! Stella is a rare exception and only gets beaky when there are chicken treats involved.
