Meet Phoebe. She came to me as a chick - only a day or two old - when a friend ran into some people out of town claiming to have seen her mother and siblings hit by a car. Chicken whisperer that I am, I drove into town to get her. Now, another theory is they got her on a whim at a local feed store and realized they weren’t ready or equipped to take care of a chicken. Either way, she ended up with me and her sister (who I purchased a few days later so she wouldn’t be alone).
The purpose of this post, however, is to show to the world just how lazy she is (she’ll be 5 months old the first week of September. Not laying yet but will start soon), and to ask, do any of you have a ridiculously lazy chicken? There must be one in every family, right? Also, I suspect she’s Barred Rock or at least has a BR parent (her legs are yellow with dark green/gray running down the front and over her toes).
Anyhoo, you are here to witness the laziness and here it is!

). But aren’t most chickens that way, so long as you get to know them? Honestly, they aren’t much different from cats
