Our flock is more than a backyard project ā they’re a band of characters with distinct personalities,
quirks, and enough drama to fill a soap opera. Pull up a bale of hay and get acquainted.

No. 01
BuckWheat
BuckWheat is the golden girl of the flock ā sturdy, dependable, and always the first
one out in the morning. She has a habit of scratching up the garden beds with great
enthusiasm and absolutely zero remorse. Her name suits her perfectly: wholesome,
earthy, and a little bit wild.
The Early Bird
š«
No. 02
Olive
Olive is small, sleek, and quietly observant. She tends to hang back from the chaos
and watch the drama unfold from a safe distance ā usually from atop the fence post
she’s claimed as her personal throne. Cool under pressure and impossible to rattle,
Olive is the one you’d want in your corner.
The Cool One
š
No. 03
Gladyss
Yes, it’s spelled with two S’s ā and Gladyss would have it no other way. She’s the
most vocal member of the flock, with an opinion on everything and no hesitation
sharing it. She announces every single egg like it’s breaking news, and honestly,
the enthusiasm is contagious.
The Loudmouth
šŖ
No. 04
Mabel
Mabel has old-soul energy. She moves at her own pace, picks the best spot in
any situation, and has an uncanny ability to find a patch of sunshine no matter
the weather. She’s gentle with the younger hens and has never been in a hurry
a single day of her life.
The Wise One
šæ
No. 05
Willow
Willow is graceful and a little dreamy ā she’ll wander to the far edge of the
yard and stand there gazing into the middle distance like she’s writing poetry in
her head. She’s the gentlest of the bunch and has a soft spot for dandelions,
which she hunts with surprising precision.
The Dreamer
š
No. 06
Shelby
Shelby is all personality and zero filter. She’s fiercely loyal to whoever fed her
last, follows people around the yard like a shadow, and has an alarming talent for
sneaking through the back door when no one’s looking. Bold, social, and a little
bit chaotic ā Shelby keeps things interesting.
The Troublemaker
š„
No. 07
Milkshake
Milkshake is fluffy, round, and improbably soft-looking ā basically a chicken
designed by a child who really loves chickens. She’s a little wobbly when she
runs, endlessly cheerful, and somehow always ends up right in the middle of
whatever is happening. The flock’s unofficial mascot and everyone’s favorite.
