This is 'Boots'.

She is our resident dominant hen. That means she acts like the rooster...Yes, she has her morning call that sounds absolutely nothing like a roosters call.

It's actually quite ugly and makes my skin crawl a bit. The neighbors dogs bark, I heard one person walking and say 'what the hell?' in a rather startled voice.

I'm fascinated with my little flock and they each have their own distinct personalities. The rooster 'Rico' likes his all white hen 'Frosty' and shows her where to find food. The two remaining 'Brownies' are inseparable and one of them has a chronic sneezing problem. Sounds like a dud fire work, just a little fizzle. Odd, but cute.

Hopefully they are here to stay.

No luck on trapping the fox yet.
