A new addition to the family

We got another chicken this week after finding Taluhla another home where no dogs roam. Heh. She was just too nervous of the dogs, and well, kinda annoying.

We now have another Rhode Island Red who is about 6 months old. And I found two eggs in the nestbox today so I think she's already laying! Her and Clarice had some rough tumbling this morning, but new chicken held her ground and literally pinned Clarice to the ground, so they are good buds now.

Not sure what we'll name her yet. I'd like to call her "BaaaAAAAA" (have to say it very high pitched), that's what Hunter's says when she wants to go outside and see the chickens. It's for "Baaack, Baack". But I'm not sure I want to pretend I'm Mariah Carey every time I say the chickens name. :)

The new one is in the back of both pictures...
