Who goes there? Chickens may have little brains, but they still are curious and wary. They are well aware of their surroundings and if they see something new or possibly dangerous, they study it carefully before making a move.

This is one of my favorite hens born this year. She has a refined look, with the colors of her feathers going from pure black on her head to subtle grays toward her tail. Her gray feathers are fringed in black, making delicate patterns from head to tail. When she stands still, she looks so elegant.
