Great breeds and stories!

I often replace my flock with new birds, but some aren't good breeds, so I just thought of a idea. The rules are simple: have a review of one of your chickens, example= not broody, brown eggs, pretty, seldom lays= and then tell the story of that chicken! Other fowl are welcome, as well as mixed breeds. I'll start:

Light brown eggs, productive, very pretty, large fowl.
This is Coppers profile, it all happened when one of my silkies went broody and she was the only laying chicken! So I got some eggs from a relative who has mixed breeds, and out hatched Copper, and her friends that would get the nickname the wild ones. I sold Coppers friends but kept her because she reminded me of a chicken I used to have called Flying Tiger. She now looks like her and is my favorite chicken, she is also the only chicken that sleeps on a old ladder in the coop! Thus in some ways she went from a wild chicken to the queen of the roost
