See yah!

Although it looks like it's sleeping, the Ural Owl chicken (Strix uralensis) is very aware of you, and its head will steadily follow you,
turning almost 360º, if you slowly walk around it in a circle.

@Sonja:
As the narrative states, it's a chicken, flown out of the nest just about a week ago...
Thx for looking! :)

Well captured. Is it a young bird, or just fluffy plumage?
