Field Notes

Description:

Black and white speckled feathers. Females have shorter feathers than males, gray legs, and a small red comb.

Habitat:

I was trying to take pictures of butterflies in a meadow when I met up with this chicken. She followed me everywhere - even into the woods a bit. She was very curious and friendly, but scared away just about every butterfly that I spotted. The nature center where I was hiking has a working farm, and they have many different kinds of free-range chickens that wander around at will - which is where I spotted this free-spirited hen.
