Lady Di is still top of the pecking order, too, asserting her royal credentials when any of the other 22 flock members forget their places as plebes.

Peep is now 10 years old, hatched July 19, 2007. She's the 1st chick I ever hatched, a cross between an Australorp and a Light Brama rooster. I used a wooden box with a 40 watt light bulb since I didn't have an incubator. She was the only chick that hatched so she was raised in the house and she still thinks she should be a house chicken to this day. She's still the queen of the henhouse tho!
