The Cleanest Chicken….Ever!

 

This video is of my Golden-Laced Polish Hen, Phyllis Diller. I had been watching her for at least 5 minutes before it occurred to me video tape her. She was so focused on grooming and reminded me of a cat. And her bouffant head reminded me of a dust mop. hah!

Well, with a lovely outfit like that, I can see why she'd spend so much time keeping it proper. I mean, did you see that black hen that wandered through? Her tail feathers were just a sight! cluck, cluck, cackle, cackle... ;)

Love all the pauses--It's almost as if she is trying to re-establish equilibrium after every few seconds of twirling that "mop" around!

Oh, that wonderful hairdo! She was so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Hey, when you look as good as I do you have to do a lot of work to keep it that way. A girl's work is never done.

Oh my word!!!!
That is absolutely hysterical! I was chuckling...then, when she ducked her head under her wing....I lost it!
She totally gets the "Rubber Chicken Award " for flexibility.

I can't wait to show my husband!
Thanks for that...she's a chicken, after my own cat's heart!

She really gave herself a good grooming! I love to watch our chickens when the get so into their "bath" that they forget we are even there.
