Coolio – Cattaraugus Rez
Rez pets can come in all shapes and sizes in Cattaraugus. Coolio is a backyard rez chicken to the Hill Family. She is a Rhode Island Red straight out of our local Tractor Supply. She is just over a year old and has honestly always made her presence known, which is how she ended up with her wild spirited name her adoptive parent Heath once thought this one has to be a rooster but to his surprise it was a Queen of the Roost in the making.
Coolio can be described as bossy by her flock with some complaints that she gets first dibs on the snacks but that’s the way the pecking order crumbles. She has two dog siblings who she doesn’t mind much because they messed around and found out early on so they’re good about letting her forage to keep the peace. Thankfully, she has patience for small children and doesn’t mind being carried around like an accessory. We just love our Coolio.
