I Hate to Brag

... But I will. I love me some chickens and since the last picture of the girls received praise, I feel obligated to post a couple more.

Ginger has been practicing her Marilyn McNugget pose atop the heat pump. Unfortunately, she does it when I don't have the camera with me or when it's getting late and any attempt to snap a cool pic is in vain. This one will at least give you an idea of what she looks like with her feathers a-fluffin'. (Please excuse that awful, awful pic!) At that particular moment, she looked more like a chicken practicing for space but more times than not, her feathers are all fluffed out and flowing in the breeze. Silly, silly girl chicken.

Ella, in contrast, is more distinguished. She has remained very vocal and now sounds like she's saying "OHHHhhhhh" like she's very concerned about something or another. It was interesting to see her position change from follower to leader once the Cockerel-Formally-Known-As-Xena left. There isn't much of a pecking order since it's just the two of them but on occasion they'll posture a little but hey, all females do that in some fashion when another female is around. Overall, they're just the best of friends and seem very content to do their chicken work all day long.
