Blue was a day-old hatchling picked from a bin of chicks at the local feed store. I developed quite a bond with Blue early on and began taking her on trips to the pet store and the hardware store. She seemed to enjoy our outings and even developed quite a fan base within the community.
She’s a Blue Splash Marans, known for their calm demeanor, and she became a house chicken after several fights with her mean-girl flockmates. In the house with us, her personality really began to shine: she would torment the cats, crow when we didn‘t give her enough attention, and made contented purring noises as she sat in my lap.
