The Chook Chronicles # 2 Whitey, the Lieutenant

THE CHOOK CHRONICLES

share the ups and downs of life in the chookyard with a great bunch of girls

(Blackie, Whitey, Jessica, Paris and The Two Kittys)

WHITEY I like to snuggle in the straw,  take my time and lay my eggs. I tried to be a Mother Hen once, but it didn't happen..... perhaps one day

I was a bit nervous on my first day in our new home, but very excited too Blackie and I had a little meeting in our carry cage and decided that I'll be second-in-charge

WHITEY’S BIO: ~she’s a Light Barred Plymouth Rock  ~together with Blackie, she was first to take up residence in the chookyard ~because of her dazzling white stripes and the two pretty white splotches next to each of her eyes,  she was named Whitey Position on the Who-Rules-the-Roost Ladder: Whitey is on the second rung and proudly holds the position of Blackie’s Lieutenant. She carries out Blackie’s orders when necessary. However, the others have finally acknowledged their positions in the hierarchy and don’t need reminding quite so frequently. But Whitey is ever vigilant. Personality: Quiet and sometimes timid (but not when backing up Blackie!). She nearly became a Mother Hen once after giving her all, sitting on a clutch of fertilized eggs purchased from the Chookmistress who runs the chookyard of Whitey’s birth. However, due to a series of mishaps and general bad luck, it was not to be.  The other chooks only talk about Whitey’s traumatic times in hushed bok boks.
