Pet Profile ✨
This month’s Featured Pet: Galahop the Chicken!
Galahop is a little brown hen with full of October mischief! Technically, she is Bantam Old English Game Hen, but who’s feeling technical? Certainly not Galahop, whose favorite hobbies include: escaping her run, chittering, and demanding to lay eggs on her human’s breezeway instead of her very nice henhouse. She is a treasure.
