"Hairy" chickens
Allow me to introduce two of my "hairy" chickens, Butch the Americauna and Marlon the Bantam Araucana. If you look closely, you will see that Butch has a beard, and Marlon has "hairy" tufts sticking out from each side of his face (and no tail) - common traits for each type of bird.
Butch and Marlon get the run of the yard, because they're BAD chickens (not much of a punishment, but I'm not building a whole second coop and fenced yard for them).
Butch has personal issues and thinks she's a boy. One day she stopped laying eggs and began crowing. When she started beating up all the other hens, she got "exiled." At about the same time, Marlon decided he didn't like being the Number 2 banty roo, and began slugging it out with Caesar, his older brother, so out he went, too. They sleep in the greenhouse and follow me around when I do yardwork.
Obviously, around here it pays to be a shit! |
