My dear one, Quasie, a Blue Andalusian hen, hence the blue legs, getting her daily bit of pampering. As a small chick she jammed her neck and has been somewhat crooked ever since. I handled her the most, thinking I could massage her neck back into joint, but with no success. However, that regular handling has made us thick as thieves and she stands as the "informant" of the flock, letting me know when the water is low, the coop needs a litter changing and when Roman the Rooster is getting out of hand.
Blue Andalusians are a Spanish breed and on the recovery list. Their colors vary from black to "splash", mostly white with splashes of gray, like Quasi and her sister Cecilia.
