This is the boss hen of our flock, Rue the Sicilian Buttercup.

Sicilian Buttercups are an old, heritage breed of poultry, and have become quite rare today. There are many aspects that make them an attractive bird for any flock. Buttercups originated on the Island of Sicily, near Italy in the Mediterranean Sea. This breed is famous not only for its unique comb type, but also for its incredibly beautiful color pattern, which is not found anywhere else in the chicken world.

A Silver Sebright hen.

The Sebright is a British breed of bantam chicken. It is a true bantam – a miniature bird with no corresponding large version – and is one of the oldest recorded British bantam breeds.

Sebrights are a very special breed of bantam chicken in that the males and females have exactly the same feathering. It took Sir John Sebright over 30 years to develop this trait. In almost every other breed of chicken, the flamboyant feathering of males is easy to distinguish from the females.
