Meet the New Hampshire sisters.

Hand raised but you sure wouldn't know it. They want nothing to do with me, unless it's morning and scratch is involved.

They enjoy pushing their weight around the coop. Being the largest hens has possibly led them to believe that they're in charge.

Fortunately for the rest of the flock, and in particular Miss Pippy, Eli doesn't put up with such nonsense. He's worth his weight in gold, that fella.

Still, I get the idea that they could be planning a coup. Maybe it's the way they quickly stop chatting to each other every time I come 'round.

Conspiracy theorists have gone on less.

~Be well friends....and on the look out.

We had a couple of those who pushed their weight around, in fact one was the same breed as the sisters. Love the shot!

They're so cute, though. :)

April 22, 2013 at 11:18 PM 
LOL! You do wonder what the sisters are up to. Fun post and love the shot.

April 23, 2013 at 7:26 AM 
Oh Andrea I would worry about them if they are talking behind your back and stop talking when you come round. I know I was never able to figure out what a hen was thinking and that always made me nervous. Now cows I understand:) Great shot. Watch your back there may be something afoot:) Hug B

Sort of like the 'mean girls' in high school... always talking behind your back. LOL

April 23, 2013 at 8:00 AM 
I think they have a plan and you aren't going to be included!

April 23, 2013 at 8:07 AM 
They are beautiful hens! Love the color.

April 23, 2013 at 9:43 AM 
that is funny, didn't know they had that much personality.

April 23, 2013 at 10:00 AM 
Great picture and a great post :)

April 23, 2013 at 12:20 PM 
Ha! The pecking order is alive and well on your place I see. Lovely hens.

April 23, 2013 at 12:35 PM 
Love the hens'-eye-view of this photo! And the narration is perfect!

April 23, 2013 at 12:55 PM 
Oh gosh, I am immediately transported back to one of my kids' animated movies (Chicken Run I believe) involving chickens and a coup to escape the farm. Oh yea, it could happen!

Beautiful hens.

April 23, 2013 at 7:14 PM 
Great photo. And thank you for my daily laugh. I would be careful around them. Who knows what they are up to.

Love your chickens. I live in a city of 225,000 and in my back yard I have three chickens. They free range in the afternoons and each have individual personalities :)

April 23, 2013 at 9:52 PM 
I have 2 N.H. sisters too. They almost honk like geese!

Haha funny! Sounds like they're a bunch of spunky ladies!

April 24, 2013 at 6:34 AM Elaine Alguire said...

They sure are pretty. I want to live in a farm... :)

April 24, 2013 at 12:35 PM 
What a great camera angle! I would keep an eye on those two for sure, they look a little suspect to me! ;)

April 24, 2013 at 4:05 PM 
I want to eat those chickens.
