Hen Pal

A trial involving residents at a nursing home on the east coast of Australia
has produced evidence that a hen can be a best friend.

Chickadee is a 'lap chicken' and would love being a
'hen pal' being patted by the 'hen-sioners', sorry pensioners!
Nestle would probably get jealous!

One Year With Chickadee

 One year ago today, on 7th December 2014, we said goodbye to
Chilli and welcomed baby Chickadee to the 2 Happy Hens.
 Chickadee was only a little 8 week old
Rhode Island Red hen this time last year.
Here she is drinking water from "Wet-a-Chook" feeding station. 
What a difference a year can make!
Chickadee is now a large adult hen who's pictured eating seed
from the custom made "Dine-a-Chook" feeding station next to Nestle.
Chickadee's gone broody after laying an egg a day, 21 days in a row!
Nestle is the hungry boss and kicks Chickadee out of the feeder.
Chickadee looks like a turkey fluffing herself up and bowing down.
Broody 14 month old Chickadee strikes a pose for the camera.
Nestle loves drinking water from Wet-a-Chook.
Nestle may be smaller in size, but she's still the boss of the 2 Happy Hens!
