Chickory

Chickens are a vital part of any farmstead, with their versatile ability to produce nutritious eggs and meat, and provide useful feathers. The Chickory doesn't produce anything like the animal they derive from, but they share one important behavior. Despite their small stature and lack of courage, chickens are in fact predatory birds. 

With white, wavy leaf-wings and beautiful blue flower-combs, Chickory spend most of their daylight hours scratching around, searching for insects. In a departure from most Florabeasts, they do actually eat any bugs they find, digesting them in an acidic sac in their gullet, and absorbing the nutrients accordingly. Because of this alternative food source, Chickory usually spend less time rooting than other Florabeasts. When they do settle down, they usually do it in an enclosed, darkened space, away from the sun. This likely contributes to the white color of their leaf coverings.

These Florabeasts inherit their tendency to flock together from their animals, and as such planters find it easier to manage more than one of them at a time, without the usual mental strain of having many Florabeasts at once.
