Sophia! She is a delaware hen, 5 months old and a sweetie! She came to us because her previous owner (who had 200 chickens picking on sophie!) noticed her back was twisted and caused her to walk sideways. She was being mounted by the rooster and her last owner had given us Lil Lucy and knew we rescued animals. Her left wing is higher then her right wing when she is standing still. She walks weird and sorta limps like Gloria.
As for the pecking order, Nellie and Lucy are being brats and pecking her alot.... and we are trying our hardest not to interfere to much (there's no blood yet). Gloria is fine with her and gave her a few stink eyes, a few pecks on the feathers and gave her a growl to let her know she is the queen of everything! Penny of course, loves everyone, so Sophie adores her.
Just wanted to give a shout out on the latest member of our rescue flock... Animals Come First rescue, where you don't know what you'll find!
On the drive home...

As you can sorta see, she is bent towards one side and is holding her left foot up.
She has a pretty good stink eye and as you can see, is letting everyone know she ain't happy about being pecked on!
Nellie in the process of pecking her.... poor sophie.
