Barbara the Brave



Barbara was the first little chick to figure out how to jump up on things.  Our brooder box had to continue to get taller and taller in order to keep Barbara in the box. 


Even as an older pullet, Barbara is always the first to greet us.  She makes it furthest out of the run to attempt to forage with the older hens and is quick to come even to our 6 year old.


Now at 5 months old Barbara has a tall red comb.  We think she will likely be the first of the new chickens to lay eggs.  We are patiently waiting for some of Barbara's finest.
