Meatbird (part 2)
Meatbird is also from the same newborn chick order as Whip. She is just over 13 weeks old.
She was the tiniest of the group and easily identifiable from the others with her brown fluff and little white face.
The kids thought it was funny to name her Meatbird as all the babies were labeled dual purpose. Our purpose is for eggs...but mostly as pets. I tried to get them to shorten it so we could just call her MB (and then I could pretend her name was MaryBeth), but Meatbird stuck.
She learned early on how to pose for the camera.
I thought Meatbird was a Cinnamon Queen, but really have no idea at this point. Her feathers have interesting marks unlike any of our other birds. She has a variety of feather colors and outlines that makes her easy to admire.
Meatbird is on the left here:
She has the best tail feathers of our flock!
As mentioned earlier, she is the most vocal of all our girls. Rwwwwak! RWWWWWAK! She found her voice earlier than the others and hasn't stopped since. She sounds like a creaky old door in a horror film sometimes.
Meatbird's social status is like that kid in school that everyone likes, but no one is besties with. She does her own thing, and no one really challenges her....except the dog with staring contests as posted earlier.
Please say hello to my son's favorite chicken, Meatbird!
