Lily and Maple sharing a moment together away from the flock.
Maple's beautiful golden feathers really brought to life in the closeup shots of her.
She tends to be a bit of a loner, at times found sleeping by herself in the garden. Of late though she has been spending more time with Lily, who is a rather wacky rescue hen.
Watching the ever changing dynamics of the flock is always interesting.
Not many get an up close and personal look at the intimate lives of chickens.
Even others I know who keep chickens don't always spend much time observing their hens.
Keeping chickens really has taught me so much.
And it really is true that if animals have their emotional needs met they are far happier than those who are seen simply as a commodity.....
