1, 2, 3, Chickadee Turns 3!

Chickadee has gone broody again.
Here you see 3 year old Chickadee fluffed up and
broody sitting in her nesting box in the coop.
Chickadee looks like she's having a 'bad hair day'!
Chickadee turns 3 years old on 13th October 2017. 
It seems like Chickadee is looking at her shadow
on the ground, but she's really searching for food!
 Broody Chickadee is locked out of the coop in an
effort to prevent her from sitting in the nesting box.
Chickadee does not look impressed that the coop is closed!
Chickadee decides to sit in the dirt outside the rear of the coop.
Nestle "the boss" watches over the 3 year old Rhode Island Red broody hen.
Chickadee sits in her dirt hole fluffed up.
 Nestle looks so small compared to Chickadee!
The 2 Happy Hens have a rest. It's a hard life.
 Broody Chickadee chills out.
Her red comb has gone a bit floppy.
 Three year old Chickadee is not impressed that she's locked
out of the coop to prevent her from sitting on the nest.
Chickadee's got that glaring look.....

The Eyes Have It

The 2 Happy Hens have a rest under the tree.
Chickadee looks enormous sitting on the dirt fluffed up and broody.
Her nickname 'BFC' currently stands for:
Broody Fluffy Chickadee!
 The hens have a nap.
Chickadee is a lot larger hen compared to Nestle.
Nestle squints and keeps on eye on things as she's the 'boss'.
Nestle closes her eyes standing up whilst it's
Chickadee's turn to doze off and squint at the camera.

Where's My Snacks?

The 2 Happy Hens ran to Lydia in the morning to 
see if she's got any food. Chickadee and Nestle look
at Lydia as if to say, "Where's my snacks?"
The 2 Happy Hens start walking to the patch of
ground where the morning feed is freshly spread.
Chickadee picks up a piece of lettuce.
Chickadee loves eating fresh lettuce scraps.
Nestle eats long green grass.
The 2 Happy Hens love eating anything that's green.
Nestle looks satisfied.
