So adorable!!
We have a chicken who is 100% convinced she was born a cat. 😆🐔🐱
She has absolutely no interest in behaving like the rest of the flock. The coop? Apparently beneath her. The other chickens? Not her people. She has fully decided her real family is the cats, and there is no convincing her otherwise.
Instead of staying with the flock, she hangs out with the cats, naps with the cats, and even eats from the cat bowl like she’s just another member of their crew. At this point, I’m pretty sure she thinks feathers are just a slightly odd version of fur. 😂
The issue is, I’d really like to get her used to the coop for the basics — food, water, safety at night, and eventually laying when that time comes. But she is stubborn and seems completely content living her best “cat-chicken” lifestyle.
She’s also strangely attached to us and jumps onto my shoulder almost every time we go outside, like she’s part parrot too. So now I honestly don’t know if I have a chicken, a cat, or a tiny farmyard pirate. 🐔🐱🦜
Any tips for encouraging her to spend more time in the coop, especially for feeding, watering, and laying, without stressing her out too much? She’s sweet, but definitely one of the weirdest little birds we’ve ever had. 😂
