Betsy's Folly is also home to chickens, who make their own peculiar brand of music.

Note: Some have asked exactly what qualifies a chicken to become "Chicken of the Week." No, it is not the chicken that will become that week's main course. (We don't eat our chickens; they are a laying flock.) We considered selecting the Chicken of the Week based on which of them had completed that week's Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle the fastest, but several had trouble holding the pencil, so we felt that type of criteria would be unfair. For now it is completely subjective process, but suggestions are welcome!

Our "Chicken of the Week" for 12/15/2003 is "Fluffy," our second rooster. As a baby, Fluffy was an adorable chick with soft white down. "She's so cute" everyone said, until one day we heard an unmistakeable cock crow coming from Fluffy's direction. It was at that moment that we decided to give Fluffy a second name - "Rocko" - to avoid future psychological counseling bills.
