Do you see the resemblance?
Our Phyllis Diller is not a comedian, though. Sure she is funny and makes us laugh, but her jokes aren't very good. She just has great hair. Our Phyllis is a Buff Laced Polish chicken.
And contrary to popular belief she can see just fine. Yes, she has a 'blind spot' in the front, but if you look at any 'normal' (did I just call Phyllis abnormal?) chicken, their eyes are on the sides of their heads. A normal chicken has to cock their heads to the side to see in front of them. Just as a Polish chicken must do.
Phyllis is sort of a snob. She likes to look down at the other chickens. She almost stands on her tippie toes so she can do this. If she were a human she'd be known for her long sexy legs. I don't think chickens base much of their attraction on legs, though. Is it a big fluffy butt, then? A sexy waddle across the coop? Who knows.
Our Phyllis is red-carpet bound. Whenever Phyllis sees me with the camera, she stops and poses. She lives to have her photo taken. She thinks she's a star. What do you think?
She swears she doesn't spend much time fluffling her fancy 'do'. But I've caught her many times, when she thinks noone's looking, fluffing, shaking, preening and grooming that bouffant of hers. She is quite vain about it, really.
I think she even wears eyeliner. "Hey, Phyllis, I think your lipstick is smeared." (Oh wait, chickens don't have lips, do they?)

She's a beautiful girl, but don't tell her I said so.
I often wonder how those head feathers stay so pretty, it's not like they can preen them.

Typical woman.
Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding. Don't jump on me.
Great pictures.

PS: I don't think the real Phyllis Diller is that funny either. Just my opinion.
Very funny and great pictures too. I adore your chickens, and Phyllis is my favorite.
Oh goodness, that is the funniest comparison I've ever seen in ages!!! You've gotta submit that to some look-alike contest or something.
She is quite the model, that Phyllis of yours!!!
Oh my wherever did you get that picture of the 'real' Phyllis, what a great side by side comparison! I just love this snobby little chicken, just look at that face and those legs are to die for. I'm sure she knows everyone is so jealous of her bouffant hair. Isn't is nice to have an animal that makes everyone smile.
Hooray for Phyllis Diller...the chicken!!!
I personally like ducks better, but both are fun to watch :) We always had "pet" chickens and ducks while I was growing up. There was even a peacock named "Jacque Peacock."
that chicken is great!i've never in my life seen such a cool bird(chicken)
That has to be the prettiest chicken I have ever seen. What a beauty!
Very funny. And I like funny.
Hi CeeCee,
Thank you. She may not be able to preen them, but you ought to see her flip, shake and fluff her poofy bouffant. That must be how she loosens and removes any dirt from her head. Maybe I should try that, too? heheh
Hey Dan, My husband takes longer in the bathroom than I do! hehehe
Yeh, I think Phyllis Diller, the chicken, is much more entertaining, too :)
Thank you Nuzzling Muzzles. You are so sweet!
Oh! You have no idea, Pony Girl! Our Phyllis would be quite at home on the red carpet in Hollywood. I'm serious! haha!
Do you know of any contests I can enter our bouffant chicken in? Let me know :)
Hi Grey Horse,
You are too sweet! Phyllis would LOVE you. She'd probably hop right into your lap and wait to be doted upon. hehe
Yes, it's wonderful having chickens that make our family and other folks smile. I'm glad you liked the pictures, too. I got that one off of a Google Image search. It's unacanny the resemblance, isn't it?
Hi Knutson friend!
I'm not a huge fan of ducks because they poop HUGE! And are pretty messy. But I do enjoy the colors and variety and the way they waddle.
I wish we could have peacocks. I just love them. They are exotic looking. But they are very LOUD! My neighbors would kill me. A neighbor across the valley has a peacock and it's screeches echo all throughout our valley. But at least it's not right next door. hehe
Hi Desert Dirt Diva,
Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comment, too. We are enjoying our unique chickens very much. They are fun to watch. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos, too.
Hi Goatgirl!
Thanks :) I know you like funny. Wish you could visit. These chickens of mine would be having you laugh all day.
She sure is pretty!
I love those pictures. Seeing the Phyllis Diller photo(the person) brought back a lot of memories. She is one of my Mother's favorites.
Now I want a Buff Laced Polish chicken too. See what happens, when I get through visiting you I want horses and more chickens. lol....You really have such a lovely home for your family and all your animals.
Have a good day!
Pam
