Some say fie on fowl in the city

Named "Roberta Mutant Fluffball," this chicken, of the fluffy Silkie breed, won Seattle Titlh's prettiest bird competition last year. "She's a tragic figure like many ex-beauty queens," says Jennie Grant, her owner. Grant's other hens harassed Roberta, and she hid under stairs all day until Grant let her roam in the garden.
