Attila's is a sad but all too common tale of Easter chicks.  She was bought with 3 other chicks for a little girl with all the best intentions as a cute Easter gift.  While all chicks are cute and fluffy, all chicks do grow up and to the untrained eye it can be hard to sort the boys from the girls.  In Attila's unfortunate series of events, she was the only girl and naturally the smallest of the group.  As if that weren't enough, the parents of the little girl were only able to care for the chickens every other weekend, as her parents ended up going through a messy divorce.

 

     Fortunately, all it takes is a brave voice to call attention to an unfortunate situation and the chicken's were brought to safety.  Attila was in very rough shape being the smallest and having to fight over food.  With limited space at the time, the boys were brought to good health and placed in loving homes but Attila's scares ran deep requiring extra care.

She eventually earned the name Attila the Hen not just because of her now enormous size, but after lots of encouragement, she is now the fearless leader of all the hens!
