Flight 101 Heavy

[3KillerBs]

Dumpling, the Light Brahma, happened to be on the far side of the pen from her sisters when I walked over carrying a plate with some table scraps on it.

Apparently afraid that she might miss out on something, she labored into the air, beating her wings furiously with a sound like a cargo helicopter and achieving a height of 18 inches.

So funny! I have a light brahma to named Maribell(my husband calls her chicken dumpling), but when I call them for some treats she does the same thing then after landing hauls ass all hunkered down till she gets to me.

My buff brahma, Big Bertha does the same thing. Must be a brahma trait lol

 

[thelittlegraybarn]

Same. Haha, they never move fast unless treats are involved.

Her flockmates can all fly to some extent, especially Chipotle, the California White, who can truly fly.

I normally see Dumpling running rather than attempting flight, but I guess pease porridge on a paper plate is highly motivating.

Was it... peas porridge hot? Peas porridge cold?

I know it wasn't nine days old.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
