One of our hens is very unique. She is a bantam cross breed of some sort and is the only grey chicken we have ever had. Her hairdo is a punk rock mohawk and she has blue cheeks. Due to her petite size, we always considered her younger than the others, but then realized she is just a bantam or mini breed.
She recently started laying eggs! They are small and pointy. We originally named her "Baby Eggins" but then she started laying eggs right on schedule with the rest of our girls. So she is now a proper hen who deserves a big girl name such as "Lady Eggins". When she is old, we shall call her "Old Granny Eggins"- inspired by our 6-year old's original ukulele composition titled as such. She came up with the song even before we got the chickens 😊.
