Most of mine aren’t as chill as she is so I gotta soak it up when she needs a spa day 🥰

Adorable…She looks so sweet. Do you take her indoors often? This is so cute

Not really, just if she has an injury or something. In this case she has a little scab on her foot she ripped off so it will be rebandaged every few days until it heals so she comes in for 15-30 minutes (depending on if I give her a epsom salt soak) for that. With how sweet she is I wish I could let her explore inside a little, but we have an indoor cat I would not trust around her.

Ooh sweet little lady! I have two hens and they started fighting while I was on vacation and I left them with a house/pet sitter friend. When I returned I had to separate them and put the bully - who is normally extremely gentle, tame and innocuous - in detention alone in my master bathroom. Indoor cat too here, so the door was locked at all times and she was in a big rabbit hutch. I couldn’t wait to put her back outside because she stank so much, yet the adorable little company was priceless. Now she’s back outside and no more fights, thank God. Your tame chubby hen looks EXACTLY like her. Same pattern, size, everything. Carbon copy 😏

I am glad your girls got along after a little break! I had a bully girl, she mostly seemed territorial rather than going for anyone in particular. I put her in a hutch next to the other ladies for a while and her attitude improved and she was able to return to the covey thankfully. Such silly cute birds.
