This is Wilga! I choose to pronounce it with a Germanic bent – think Vilga. She is a #Faverolle, sporting the trademark beard. She is named after Wilgefortis, a female saint of popular religious imagination whose legend arose in the 14th century, and whose distinguishing feature is a large beard. Her name is thought by some to derive from the Old German “heilige Vartez” (“holy face”). Thanks @wikipedia! So, this is holy face the chicken! Love her!
