She's Back!

My Black Giant is back! (One of them anyway- both of them went missing. One was a month ago the other about 2 weeks ago. )I was fixing lunch and glanced out the kitchen window to see her pecking around in the yard with the others. I grabbed some bread and ran out. Just like always, she saw me clear the door and came running for her morsels. She looks good except for a small cut behind her right eye. She's also very dominate among the other hens now. She was running them off the treats, puffing up at them and shielding the food with her wing. Very interesting behavior.

Now as to why she was gone... there are no chicks so far, but they could be tucked away somewhere still. She should bring them around soon since the eating here is so good. Of course, they may all be gone and that's why she's back without them. Or maybe she just got lost for a while.

I certainly hope she stays this time and that there are no other injuries I'm not aware of. I'm interested to see if there are any chicks to show up. Here's to the excitement of free range chickens!
