Little Connie

This is Little Connie. She is an Araucana and probably about three years old. She lays about 2 eggs per week, and although she is not the lowest in the pecking order she is missing a lot of feathers on her neck, most probably from being henpecked by the other chickens.

Little Connie likes to be annoying in the early morning. She jumps up on a lawn chair in the chicken coop and crows at the neighboring cats. She crows even though she is a hen, not a rooster. I have been told her crowing is not as loud nor as incessant as a rooster's crowing.

She lays bluish-shelled eggs.
