Top Dog...

so to speak. This is Miss Wattle. She's one of the old girls and is pretty much top of the pecking order. In the past when we had Mr. Rooster she would seldom come out of the coop because she just hated him. Now she will be one of the first ones to pop out of the coop in the morning. She looks so big here because her feathers are poofed out to keep her warm. She has yet to snuggle up to the other chickens at night to keep warm but may change her mind when the temperatures really drop.
She's a little grumpy but still one of my favorites.
