#housechicken

This completely ridiculous, absolutely gorgeous, constantly hilarious, handful of a cheeky madam just had her FIRST BIRTHDAY!! 🥳🎂🎈🍿🐔 After getting her back up to speed healing an accidental dog bite injury when she was just a week old, then getting her through tapeworms (from her original coop/flock), “failure to thrive,” & correcting a nutrient deficiency that led to a seriously concerning leg & foot joint deformity, all in her first several weeks of life…this chicken has our hearts. She is now no longer a pullet, but a full-grown, egg-laying house hen! 🐓🍳 We so adore her daily antics & big personality, silly screaming & cuddle requests…it’s really quite absurd how much we obsessively love this golden bird & how much joy she brings to our lives! 😻💕 #housechicken #petchicken #popcornthechicken #popcornchicken #bakcyardchickens #whiteleghornxbufforpington #whiteleghorncross #bufforpingtoncross #whiteleghornmix #whiteleghorn #bufforpingtonmix #bufforpington #goldenchicken #chickensofinstagram #emotionalsupportchicken #pullet #hen #chicken #farmlife (at Chicken Coop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXKjrhK5gT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My late night gal. All tuckered out after getting a good drink of water. She did eat a little food today. All in all, in better spirits...Snowy smells so good after her bath yesterday, and a blow dry. All soft & fluffy. It perked her up quite a bit. Yay, Snowy!!! We are working on it. #ameraucana #chickenkeeping #housechicken https://www.instagram.com/p/CY50dolOdJd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reunited and it feels so good! Longest time we’ve ever been away from our #tawtathecrossbeakchicken and I must say, in spite of having the most loving team who stepped in and hand fed her for me, she lost a lot of weight. Even her diapers got big…and her and @violettatequila were SO cute getting back together. Who knew this #unusualfriendship would be so cute to watch. #housechicken (at Carmel Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUV5OURpbJw/?utm_medium=tumblr
