Chickadee turns 4 years old on 13th October 2018.
She's been our pet since she was 7 weeks old.
Chickadee weighs over 3 kilograms and is classified as a
'heavy' chicken breed being a pure Rhode Island Red hen.
We didn't know that Chickadee would grow this big!
Her nickname is 'BFC'= Big Fat Chickadee.
We hope that Chickadee's frequent 'broody phase' has
passed as she was often broody in her first 3 years of life!
Chickadee loves eating grass, lettuce, fresh tomato,
sunflower seeds, moths, bugs and live meal worms.
Laying pallets and shell grit are an essential part of her diet.
Even though she's 4 years old, Chickadee still lays about 5 eggs a week.
Chickadee eats grass next to second in charge (2IC) Speckles
with Frenchy in the background. Bossy Chickadee
tolerates little Frenchy but they are not best friends.
