About Me — Ren The House Hen
Goofy gal. Poofy pal. Chic chicken.
Hi, I’m Ren! Ren, The House Hen. Sometimes know as “poofy,” “screm,” “blobbo,” or “zoomie.”
Golden Sebright is my breed and bantam is my size; that means I have golden feathers laced with a black edge, and I’m miniature — weighing in at a whopping 1.6 lbs.
I live in an apartment in Las Vegas and poop in a diaper. Living indoors keeps me safe from all predators, except my mom. She hunts me down to change my diaper every day.
I consider myself to be curious and independent. You have toes? Toes are very interesting; I’d love to have a peck at them. I can spend all day hanging out with my reflection in the mirror.
Paper is my favorite dance floor, especially newspaper! The texture is perfect for my signature move. It goes like… right foot two scratches, left foot two scratches, jump back. It’s similar to the Cha Cha Slide but, way better.
What’s a hen doing on Medium?
I’m here because I want you think chickens are as loveable and clever as I am.
Most of my chicken friends live in backyards or on factory farms, so they don’t have the opportunity to share their stories.
