On 11th October 2012, a 6 month old Isabrown hen
named "Chilli" came to join the 2 Happy Hens.
Curry and Giblet are not very impressed with the new "intruder".
Chilli is an energetic pullet and is like a mini "Road Runner" bird.
She likes to jump on the pot plants and eat the juicy
tips off the aloa vera plants and succulents!
Chilli came from the same Perth chicken breeder as Curry and Giblet
so they are probably distant relatives!
Chilli may be the 2 Happy Hens' great, great grand-neice?!
Chilli is having a "coop induction" and she still has to learn
that the coop is also the place where she sleeps at night.
Chilli's natural instinct is to roost in a high place like on top of the coop or in a tree!
Chilli had already started laying eggs when we bought her.
She has laid 3 eggs in the first 3 days in her new home.
Chilli likes to make deep nests in the straw and pops the egg out quickly
(unlike Curry and Giblet who took ages to lay an egg in their younger hen days).
