I&#8217;m one of two Ameraucanas in this flock. I&#8217;m very pretty and fairly even-keeled. You can tell me apart from my sister, <a title=\"Arbi\" href=\"\/blog\/interests-projects\/chickens\/the-girls\/arbiter\/\">Arbiter<\/a>, from the lack speckles on my chest. Although I may be fairly plain in that area, I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m the favorite of the pair. There is a story going around that when we were a few days old, I received my name because I was a bit too energetic and used my sister as a blanket. Well hey, I was cold and did what I had to do.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5951\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/davenaves.com\/blog\/interests-projects\/chickens\/the-girls\/loca\/attachment\/loca-ameraucana-egg\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5951\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5951\" class=\"lazyload size-thumbnail wp-image-5951\" src=\"https:\/\/davenaves.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/loca-ameraucana-egg-150x150.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/davenaves.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/loca-ameraucana-egg-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Loca -
