Helena Bonham Clucker

Oh, hello there, darling. I'm Helena Bonham Clucker, and I'm a Cuckoo Marans — a breed with a name as fanciful as my own. I strut around the yard like I’m the star of a gothic romance, which is only fitting because I produce the most glamorous deep chocolate-brown eggs you've ever seen. Truly, they're like little jewels. I’m a reliable layer, though I do enjoy making my human work for her breakfast now and then. Keeps things interesting.

Cuckoo Marans like me are known for being pretty chill and friendly, but don't mistake me for a pushover. When I decide to go broody, it’s like someone handed me a Victorian corset and told me to get dramatic. I’ll puff myself up and growl like I’m auditioning for a horror flick — protecting my precious eggs from all who dare cross me.

I like foraging, lounging in the sun, and letting my feathers get all fabulously ruffled. Oh, and did I mention I’m a bit of a gourmet? I’m picky about my snacks — mealworms, please, and nothing less! So, if you ever find yourself lucky enough to gather one of my exquisite eggs, just know it was laid with all the flair and drama befitting a chicken of my caliber.
