henrietta

this is henrietta...

though we've pretty much only called her henry since she was a few days old.

she was the first chick to get a name.

from the time she was about 2 weeks old, she was always the first to come see me.

as she gets older, she's still the first one to get on my shoulder or in my lap.

she loves to be held and she's definitely the gentler of our 2 reds.

she has this little cooing song she sings whenever i come near her.

i've been told it's kind of a chicken's version of purring.

that makes me grin, so if it means something else, i don't want to know.

she ranks either 2 or 3 in the pecking order 

and i think it's only because she was here before our 3 easter eggers...

and they're just all very passive.

we have an awesome little flock of chickens and i adore them.

a friend of mine has labeled them the brady brunch.

see what she did there? she's funny.

so there they are...all 6 chickens.

don't think you're completely off the hook...i'm sure i'll still talk about them...

but that wraps up the introductions.

have a wonderful wednesday!

xox.
