PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Three new plush chickens are available to purchase for $10 at local Price Choppers and Market 32 stores with proceeds supporting Double H Ranch.

 

Double H Ranch provides specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses. Its purpose is to enrich the lives of those it serves and to provide camp experiences that are memorable, exciting, fun, empowering, physically safe, and medically sound.

 

The three newest members of the Price Chopper/Market 32 plush family, Alfredo, Noodle, and Nugget, each have unique backstories and personalities they bring to the table. 

 

According to a press release:

 

Alfredo is grey and white, and the sauciest of the bunch. He can run up to nine miles per hour in short bursts and loves to practice flying. That’s right, chickens aren’t completely flightless birds; they can fly for short distances, long enough to perch in a tree or clear a fence to escape danger. Alfredo has perfected his technique and likes to hang out on low tree branches for a better view. He’s at the top of the pecking order and can get a bit bossy, but Noodle and Nugget keep him grounded.

 

Noodle is brown and white and the dreamer of the flock. When he’s not running, jumping, or jousting with Alfredo and Nugget, he’s deep asleep, dreaming of all his favorite snacks. Chickens experience REM sleep as well as another sleep phase humans don’t have, where one half of the brain is asleep, and the other is awake. This means Noodle can sleep with one eye open, so he doesn’t miss any fun with his friends.

 

Nugget is black and brown, and while he might be the youngest of the brood, what he lacks in size, he makes up for in smarts. He has telescopic eyesight, a great memory, and can recognize up to 100 faces. He can be found at the watering hole telling Alfredo and Noodle all about how chickens are dinosaurs and the closest living relative to the T Rex.

 

Alfredo, Noodle, and Nugget are available at local Price Chopper/Market 32 stores while supplies last. Three dollars from every plush purchase will support Double H Ranch.
