The pecking order is established

Bottom of the three  hens in the pecking order is poor Penny,  this morning she has lost her tail feathers and although we did not see it happen I blame  the well named Peck.
Annie who has fallen  in love with Peck, "she has a lovely coat grandma, with bluey / black feathers" so she is convinced it must have been  Scratch. No doubt the pecking order will be established and in a few days the three will be out claiming their territory, all 2 hectares of it .Strangely they never cross the road, there is a joke in there somewhere.
This afternoon we went and took these pictures of Penny and the other hens, when Annie announced ''grandma, you need a hen trainer'' There you go, in that simple statement all our hen problems would be sorted! Anybody know of a local hen trainer? No replies please.
