Today I would like to take a couple of minutes to introduce another chicken. Her name is Pat, short for Cleopatra. She was named this because of the awesome markings around her eyes when she was a chick. Also the Cleopatra exhibit was in Cincinnati when I got the chicks and a few friends were working on the load in. She is an Araucana or Ameraucana depending on how you want to spell it and lays light bluish green eggs. She usually seems to have a different agenda then the rest of my hens. She is always the first to roost in the evening and generally is only interested in a treat if everyone else has walked away (yeah right!). She is skiddish and not a friendly as my other hens, but she has some adorable habits.
