Low man on the totem pole or "Why ME?"


This poor chicken is obviously the low man in the pecking order. She has been almost completely stripped of her feathers. Red doesn't seem to mind as he jumps her bones more than the others (which probably explains why she doesn't have any feathers on her wings and back side.)

She looks like a vulture with all the feathers pulled out of her head. I feel sorry for her but "chickens is chickens". I'm hoping that with Spring here she'll get her feathers back and someone else will take her place as low man.

She lays as well as the others so having no feathers doesn't impact her productivity any.
