Puffer

Puffer is enjoying some respite in a cardboard box in the kitchen. She started a pecking match with the new rooster Joseph. Puffer lost.

Her comb and face area were pecked until bloody and she acts as though her leg is hurt. I brought her inside this evening and will leave her in the kitchen for a few days to facilitate healing in a warmer place without competition from the others.

Joseph is settling in and now well respected by the other chickens. One of the black hens roosts next to him.
