Oh, she's a sweetie. She just adopted my 2 day old baby chick. She is usually the one getting bossed around by the Cochin Mama. She usually tries to stay out of the Cochin Mama's way but in this picture she is on guard cause she had just laid an egg that miraculously turned into a little chick-lol. So she was on guard because my cat was sitting there trying to figure out how the splayed leg chick-(that died)-had turned into this giant bird!!!
Oh, I'm not sure if she is soft, she's smooth...but mine are cooped and don't like for 'humans' to touch them, so I just feed them and gather the eggs so I don't get to come that close.
