Lucky Cluck has been living under a reign of terror from a couple aerial predators this winter. The losses have been significant. It is our hope that the horror show is over and now we can remember those who have been lost.

Penny: This round little “bird of curves” was Ram’s first chicken and maybe even his first pet. Penny was the apple of his eye, the spring in his step and the egg in his French toast. This tough, spunky yet sweet chicken survived serious injury from a stray cat and went on to raise a chick of her own. A true charmer, her celebrity personality was Audry Hepburn. She will be remembered for her beauty, toughness, and love of Tillamook Cheese.
Chickie Mamma: The original chicken. The one that started it all. The founding chicken at Lucky Cluck Farms. This plucky matriarch was at the bottom in terms of stature, bit lived at the top of the pecking order. No one messed with Chickie Mamma. Her diminutive frame was carried with a bright, alert and jaunty style. She was a perfectly proportioned bird and though she was never judged in a show, she certainly matched our standard of perfection.
Vibaby: One of Miss Viola’s chicks. She was one of the hens from the only Lucky Cluck clutch to produce laying hens. She shared the looks of her daddy, Jimmy, and Miss Vi, Jimmy’s favorite mount.
Matilda: This bearded and muffed bantie was a partner in cuteness with Biscuit the Beloved. This independent-minded little bird marched to the beat of her own drummer.

Talla: Tiny Talla. She will always be known as the liberal, left-leaning cutie. Our favorite poultry judge, Beau, said her wry tail was a disqualifier, but that didn’t keep her from winning the hearts of every member of Lucky Cluck Farms. She also caught the attention of many a farm visitor.
All of these wonderful birds will be missed at Lucky Cluck Farms.
