Meatball

Meatball has an odd name for a chicken but it comes with a bit of a story. She came in a shipment of 15 chicks and she stood out as soon as we opened the box. The rest of the chicks looked normal but Meatball look like, well... a meatball with two legs. We soon found out that she was a little backed up do to having poopy butt, wear poo gets crusted over so they can't go poo. Once the blockage was cleared Meatball went back to normal size but by then the name stuck.

Meatball was the 'Bonus Mystery Breed' listed on the packing sheet when the birds came, but we are pretty sure she is an Ameraucana. Her fluffy beard and speckled hock and light blue eggs are a dead giveaway for the Ameraucana breed.
