The birds have developed a pecking order now. The chicken at the top is one of the Buff Orpingtons (golden hen). Oddly, the chicken at the bottom is the other Buff Orpington. The way we can tell them apart is that the top bird has a thicker neck than the bottom bird. The lowest bird steps back and defers to let the top birds get their food first. Poor thing!
The prime spot on the roosting bar is the left, where you'll find the top dog... I mean, the top bird! Every night, the top bird is in this spot. And a couple night ago, Coby and I watched her harass the Silver-Laced Wyandotte who was in her spot... until she got it.
A blog post to come is how to get a chicken permit in Palo Alto...
