I actually don’t know any of your current girls other than Tillie. I must hear about them

The other three are all RSLs. Let's go from smartest to dumbest....
Smartest of the red ones is Poppy. I don't have any good solo pics of her, but in this pic, she's in the back left.....she was molting oddly and looked like she forgot her scarf!! She has the most speckles on her saddle and back feathers. She's the best squatter, but doesn't like to be held. 3rd best layer.

Now for Ruth. Her full name is Ruth Bader Chicksburg. She was named because we thought the white feathers on her neck looked like a lacey collar. She's the one that's accepted her fate to be cuddled cuddliest and the second easiest to pick up. Likes to sit on the little roost I have in their run. Her favorite treat is watermelon. She's the 2nd best layer. She's also very photogenic.

Now for Round Chicken......she's dumb as a box of rocks. She hates being held and while fast, often runs into trees while trying to escape cuddles, which disorients her and makes her easy to grab. She's a bit of a loner- she doesn't stick with the others as much. She often walks past doors trying to go through them. Took her a while to figure out the ramp up to the coop. Her name is Round Chicken because when we first got her, she had no tail, and was therefore very circle shaped. It was originally a nickname because we couldn't think of a real one but it stuck.

She's not dumb, just skittish.

How do you explain the walking past doors when they're open (and I'm NOT chasing her, this is when I'm standing 5 or so feet away and she's completely calm) and the struggle with using a ramp? and when she tries to walk through the HC when there's an open door right next to it?
