Last fall I looked out my kitchen window and saw an unusual sight. My doe, Paige, was calmly eating her hay while a chicken sat on her back. I called for the children to come see and they were not at all surprised. "Oh Mom, that's just the Goat Chicken." The goat chicken?? This I had to hear.
It seems that this particular chicken decided she liked goats better than she liked chickens and began living with our goats. She eats their grain, drinks their water and sleeps snuggled up to them at night. We had a cold snap of below zero weather and she did very well in the barn with the goats. The goats have allowed her to make her nest at the back of their stall and are careful not to step on her.
My children decided she must be part goat and named her the Goat Chicken. She is unhappy that the goats have moved but perhaps this is a chance to bond with her own kind.
Joyfully, Cheryl |
