Nigella - a Blue Orpington Hen

Think this is just a pic of a hen ?  NO  - wrong !  This is Miss Primadonna, alias Queen of the Deck -  photo of our favorite hen, Nigella, a Blue Orpington, almost a mass of feathers and lucky to catch her still as she hardly stops.  Too busy after grubs, worm, snails and anything edible.
