Replacing Pebbles

This is our newest chicken. Peter says he wasn't planning on getting another chicken to replace Pebbles until he saw this beauty. She has grown up free-roaming and so when Peter was feeding her yesterday she escaped the coop and our yard. She flew right over the fence. Once I got into the neighbor's yard, she flew over another fence. After meeting more of our neighbors and explaining our predicament (which they found amusing) we finally caught her and clipped her wings right away. This was after the chase and wing-clipping. I think she was exhausted because she stood on Peter's skateboard for a long time.
I love the color of her feathers. She just started to lay eggs, they are off-white.
