1, 2, 3, A Chicken In A Tree

Nestle likes to jump onto a tree branch about a metre off the ground.
 The 2 Happy Hens like to eat the green leaves off this particular tree.
Curry and Giblet were never interested in eating the leaves,
however Nestle and Chilli love munching on them!
 Chilli joins Nestle on the tree branch.
Chilli is not a good flier, unlike Nestle.
Chilli's Isabrown hybrid breed prefer stay on the
ground and don't have much interest in flying.
Nestle, on the other hand, who's also hybrid hen who's mother was a
White Leghorn, has strong legs and is good at jumping and flying around
(even with her wings clipped)!

Nesting Nestle

 Nestle throws straw around whilst nesting before an egg arrives.
Some of the straw lands on Nestle's back.
 Nesting Nestle!
