Meet Switch. She's a five toed, fluffy headed, laid back (literally) Mottled Houdan. She is the weirdest funniest creature I have ever met. If she were born in the wild, I don't think she would have made it past day two (and that's being generous). When in harms way, she stands there and screeches, but does not budge. When we first moved the flock outside, we would have to go out with a flashlight every evening, and pick her up off the ground and place her inside the coop so she didn't freeze to death. I think nature keeps trying to promote 'survival of the fittest' but her humans keep interjecting.
She is sweet though and very fun to hang out with. Being carried around like a baby or napping on my lap is one of her favourite past times. She also loves to be pet and scratched under her chin. I think someone needs to tell her she's a chicken not a puppy.
