Chickadee turned 5 years old on 13th October 2019.
Her nicknames are 'BFC' (Big Fat Chicken)
and 'Boof Chook'.
Chickadee has been our pet hen since she was 7 weeks old.
She is very docile and sooky and loves cuddles.
Food is one of Chickadee's favourite things.
She's not very good at her job at being boss hen at the top
of the pecking order. Speckles is second in charge (2IC)
and Frenchy is at the bottom of the hen hierarchy.
Chickadee drinks a lot of water, especially in the warmer weather
and when she's laying eggs. Chickadee still lays about 4-5 eggs
per week as a 5 year old Rhode Island Red hen.
Chickadee enjoys having a dirt bath but is hopeless at
shaking her tail so there's always dirt in her tail feathers.
