Chicken Bullies

I let the hens out and scattered some corn for them to scratch. 

11 happy hens! 

Then I went back to the coop and let Curly out of the carrier. 

She was not so happy. 

 

She went back in the coop to eat in private. 

Then she left to join the flock... 

where a nasty little Wyandotte jumped on her 

and started pecking her neck. 

I ran over and chased away the Wyandotte 

and followed the chickens out to the woods. 

Curly stayed near the Buff Brahmas and Pasty the White Brahma, 

who don't bother her, 

and on the edge of the flock. 

All the chickens seemed much more interested in scratching 

the leaf litter up 

than in tormenting Curly. 

Curly seemed more interested in watching the other hens 

than in scratching. 

I counted 9 chickens... 

and went looking and found the two bossy Buff Orpingtons 

and an Australorp off by themselves. 

I watched Curly for quite awhile and the hens didn't bother her again. 

Hope things go better for her today. 

4 eggs today 

Had them for dinner. 

I made tostadas. 

Should have taken photos, but ate them up too fast.
