Nestle Turns 4

This month, Nestle turns 4 years old.
Happy Hatch Day Nestle!
We are excited as she is our oldest living chicken to date.
 4 year old Nestle still lays 3-4 eggs a week.
Her huge ivory coloured eggs weigh over 70 grams each!
Nestle is a healthy hen for her age.
Nestle likes to have cuddles with Gerard.
Here she is fast asleep being patted.
 Nestle starts to wake up. Her eye opens a tiny bit. 
Nestle wakes up.
 Nestle looks sleepy.
Nestle has a characteristic big red comb and is the dominant hen.
Nestle may be the oldest and smallest of the 2 Happy Hens,
but she is still the boss and the biggest sook!
Chickadee is a huge Rhode Island Red hen compared to hybrid Nestle!
Chickadee is nearly half Nestle's age.
