Alicia Petersen of Winder, Ga., and her Silkie hen, Penny Chicken, were announced the winner of Miss Fancy Feathers in Purina Poultry’s second-annual Miss Flock-Tober pageant.
Hundreds of birds in the U.S. competed against Penny Chicken for the title of Miss Fancy Feathers. Miss Fancy Feathers received a Flock-Tober Fun Box and is now in the running to win a year’s supply of feed.
Penny Chicken was rescued by Alicia and has led a very fulfilling life so far, including being featured in a national television program.
