Several months ago, Ruby had to exile one of our hens. Otherwise, she would have died at the hands beaks of the other hens. (Wow, she was low on the pecking order!)
(The hen, that is.)
Anyway, as a way of personal relaxation, yesterday afternoon I was hand-feeding her blades of grass and sprigs of weeds.
Her she is, in the process of swallowing a blade of grass she has just pecked from betwixt my fingers:
(I tried — unsuccessfully — several times to catch the grass still in my fingers as well as in her beak.)
Then I decided to do a portrait of her!
Remember the Exile!

Thanks!
me has an interesting chicken on my background!
I think I had her for dinner today, and she was “finger lickn’ good”.
On the more serious side, she kind of reminds me of one of my brothers. The resemblance is in the beak!

😆 That was “more serious” than your first observation?! 😯
