Ariana
The heir apparent.
Ariana is second. She is aware that she is second. She has been aware of it since mid-June 2024, when she arrived alongside Beyoncé and watched Beyoncé take the top of the order within days.
She does not contest it directly. She is more careful than that. She arrives at the feeder a moment after Beyoncé, eats with composed attention, and waits.
It would be a mistake to call her ambitious. She is patient. They look similar from a distance.

How to spot her on stream
The small Cream Legbar. She is noticeably smaller than the other hens around her — including Taylor, who is the same breed. Cream Legbars have a distinctive head crest, so once you know the look you can pick her out quickly. From there: look for Beyoncé, then look two paces behind her. That is Ariana, who is also looking at Beyoncé.

She watches Beyoncé. She is cordial with Taylor, in the way that two people running for the same office can be cordial — the fact that they are the same breed, and arrived together, only makes the cordiality more careful. She has no opinion on Crisscross, who has no opinion on anyone.
The coop is more delicately balanced than it looks.
