Mary, an egg-laying araucana hen, has achieved recent celebrity status. Mary and her five coopmates belong to Donna Williams of Swanville. Williams’ daughter Libby Hanley took out a classified ad this week that appeared online and in print. The ad featured a headshot of Mary and the text, “Have you seen this chicken?” In smaller print, it reads, “This chicken is not lost. She’s just an awesome chicken. We thought you should see her.” She then posted the fact she had placed the ad on her Facebook page and challenged people to get a hold of a paper and guess which ad was hers. “Libby has quite a sense of humor,” Williams said. “I thought this was really cute and hope it gets a good response.” It has, and that’s why Mary has become a bit of a chicken celebrity.
