Two White Leghorn Hens
Originally uploaded by librarian.laura
These two hens were too hard to catch so they are staying with me. All the other chicks went to a farm in Southern Indiana.
I heard a story that you could tell a rooster from a hen by how quick they moved as chicks. The hens tend to run and hide while the rooster is more likely to be in the middle of the commotion. The comb grows slower on the hen's head and their legs may be shorter.
All the 2009 library chicks that I have (6) will attend the carnival on August 7th. See you there!
