Meet the Laydies - Frigg

It's time to meet the Laydies!  First up is the lovely Frigg, our resident house chicken.  Due to a beak injury, she spends her days playing with the rest of the flock and her nights inside eating and drinking at her own pace.  Whenever allowed, we like to bring her along as the "henbassador" for our flock.

Frigg and Bekah

Name:  Frigg (named after a Norse goddess)

Breed:  Light Brahma

Origin:  Meyer Hatchery

Adoption Date:  June 12th, 2017

Bio:  Frigg was adopted, along with her brother and sisters, by a friend who was staying with us at the time.  When she moved out, Frigg and her siblings stayed with us.  Frigg enjoyed life on the homestead, until an unknown accident led to a broken beak.  We brought her into the house to nurse her back to health, and she never moved out.  She is unable to move her bottom jaw, so she takes longer to eat and drink than the other chickens.  She comes inside each evening to her own full bowl and a special waterer.  She still enjoys going out to visit with the other chickens, but always comes to the door before nightfall to be let back in.  Her favorite thing to do is lay on the ottoman in the living room.

Egg:  Frigg's eggs are easy to recognize, because they're always slightly flat on one side.  They tend to be lighter in color and covered in cute little speckles.  Have you discovered a Frigg egg in your carton?

 

If you would like to meet Frigg, she'll be at the Tractor Supply Co. in Massillon on May 12th for Market Day.  We'll be there too, of course, promoting Lay It Forward and selling homemade goodies to raise funds.  We hope to see you there!
