Gracie steals a meal
This is Gracie, a game hen and the first chicken in our poultry flock. She was given to us along with a handsome
rooster we called George. George didn't last too long because his vanity caused him to strut his stuff when he
should have flown away. He lost his head to some varmint.
Gracie will not live with the other chickens by her own choice. She prefers to roost in the trees at night and steal
food when I bring out the chopped vegetables to feed to the chickens and ducks in the afternoon.
She has become fairly tame and will actually run to meet me and will eat within inches of my hands and sometimes
will perch on the edge of a bowl while I'm feeding.
