“I used to work at a farm supply store that sold live chicks in the spring. A lot of them would come in sick or injured, and company policy was to just… leave them to die in the back room. So, I asked my manager if I could just take some home, and he said I could, that he’d just write them off as dead on arrival.”
- Finch (Season 1, Episode 6)
Quietest of the flock; sometimes she’ll start following people when she wants attention and then scare the shit out of them by ysnking on their pant leg or sock because she thinks she’s being ignored.
She was one of the smallest chicks in the container and got trampled during delivery.
Favourite food: Strawberries
Eggs: Brown | Medium-sized
Fastest of the flock; when she thinks someone has food for her, she’ll burst into a full sprint and charge them.
She was stressed out from transport and stopped eating, causing her to become malnourished.
Favourite food: Sweet Potatoes
Eggs: Brown | Medium-sized
Most curious of the flock; she’ll investigate anything and everything she comes across, and somehow is still alive.
She had spraddle leg from improper flooring and bedding.
Eggs: Light Brown | Large
Meanest of the flock; she bites and pecks at her own discretion, but she leaves the other hens alone.
Had a broken leg and hip from being dropped.
Favourite food: Mango Cubes (they have to be cubes)
Loudest of the flock; she will chatter endlessly, especially if you start talking back to her.
She was the smallest in the box and ended up getting trampled by the other chicks while at the store.
Favorite food: Everything
Eggs: Light Brown | Medium-sized
Strongest of the flock; and she knows it. She’s the muscle for whatever Cinnamon wants to get up to and has no issue putting herself between the others and potential threats.
Wasn’t able to access food due to her being one of the smallest and became malnourished.
Eggs: Doesn’t lay eggs due to having her underdeveloped oviducts removed.
Smartest of the flock; and the biggest pain in the ass. Finch has had to replace the locks on the food bin three times since she joined the flock outside because she kept figuring out how to unlock them.
She wasn’t even sick or injured, she faked a limp.
Favourite Food: Other People’s Food
Eggs: Olive Green | Largest Eggs of the Flock
Boldest of the flock; She got out of the coop and spent the night roaming the streets and getting into a fight with another animal that resulted in her breaking her beak* and loosing a wing.
She had spraddle leg from the flooring and bedding as well.
Favourite Food: Black Beans
Eggs: White | Medium-sized
*(For the real hen in the image, odds are she was debeaked, not randomly injured.)
Cuddliest of the flock; she’s very affectionate and constantly wants attention, and if she doesn’t get it she sulks in the corner of the yard or room until she does.
She had a respiratory infection and wasn’t eating or drinking.
Favourite Food: Red Apple Slices
Eggs: Blue | Medium-sized
