    The tale of Honey, the wayward hen.

    My sister keeps some chickens on a homestead in the rural USA. Last night, her favorite chicken did not come home, which was worrisome to all of us. This is her story.

    Any guesses on breed?

    I got this hen today, but I don't know exactly what she is. The lady I got her from had a LARGE variety of chickens. She's a honey-golden color with green legs. (And don't worry, she's sleeping in that one picture, lol.)
