Peeper
Backyard Poultry
Self-Made Boss
This is Peeper the Barred Plymouth Rock (it was also in my last post). Pecking seemed to be its favorite pastime—most of all at other chickens. It was also one of Puzzle’s favorite hens, which probably accounts for the bossiness. I think this is a pretty good picture, even though Peeper looks like it’s trying to ignore us. You know, it’s very difficult to take a well-posed picture of a chicken, mostly because chickens don’t pose and are constantly on the move! On top of that, almost all the pictures are through chicken wire, since we kept the hens in runs all the time.
Peeper's named after one of two chickens we got from our neighbor a long time ago--a rooster named King and a hen, Peeper. It's a long story, but we had a good bit of trouble with them! This Barred Rock looks very similar to the other Peeper too.

I can see why you'd like this one.
Yeah, really...I wouldn't even keep it except I don't butcher!:)
Why did you name it Peeper? I think it's a very pretty chicken.
I reckon most favorites act that way when the boss is away.:)

Looks like a boss with its relaxed pose and head pulled in.
