My husband frequently asks how do I tell the girls apart. Well, there are the obvious characteristics. Size, temperament, breed, sex, (well we're still on the fence about that one) and feathers.Well, one feather that is. Gladys is the Barred Rock with one rogue feather. With all this humid weather we are experiencing her tail feathers have taken on a mind of their own. I reassure her she's starting a fashion trend and to ignore all that snickering that goes on in the hen house. And besides her daddy knows her name.!

Your humor is refreshing...thanks for making me smile!
Gladys it is good to be unique, it makes you special! And don't let it ruffle your feathers humidity does sad things to my tail feathers, er I mean hair. Humidity is an evil thing. You Gladys are a unique good lookin' girl at good lookin' Dog Trot Farm!
What a girl!!
And she doesn't even need hair spray to keep it up! I'm so jealous!
Go Gladys!
And what a lovely rogue feather that is, too! She's so pretty!
I tell my two Barred Rocks apart by their combs. Bippity's comb kind of falls over to the right and Boppity's comb sort of falls over to the left. It's not the kind of thing I can identify from a distance, but at least it's something. :-)
she just washed her tailfeathers and can't do a thing with them! hee hee... Gladys is beautiful, the rogue feather just adds to her beauty!
I love her "do!" I need a new hairdresser....
Gladys is such a good name for her, she looks like a Gladys!
It's good to be a trend-setter Gladys! (-:
