"Miss Rhode Island"
8x10" acrylic on wood
(C) Cara Bevan 2009
I’ve been around chickens all my life and I love them
dearly. Despite that, most of our hens aren’t exactly named
except for those with unique features or personalities. This
Rhode Island Red hen isn’t named, but she’s recognized
as the busy body. She’s a tall, lean hen with an upfront
attitude. Although not aggressive, she’s the first hen to
follow anyone around the chicken yard. She stays at your
heels and vocalizes loudly, seeming possessive of the
territory without any pecking. Being tall, she’s a quick
runner and ends up taking the best treats from other,
slower hens. We’ve recognized her amongst her similarly
colored sisters by the tuft of down on her chest that always
stands out. Her second tell is her demeanor – you can’t
beat that uppity gaze of hers.
