KFC

KFC, the hybrid White Star, being the lightest and smallest of the three hens seems to delight in perching on anything in the garden including flower pots, garden chairs and even the garden table! In the picture below you can see her standing on the garden chair surveying the back garden.


KFC's other favourite past time is dust baths, and lots of them. At every opportunity she digs out a small shallow hole and snuggles down in the cool earth. Given time she will even go to sleep closing her eyes and dosing in the sun.


She has yet to come into lay and therefore must be two or three weeks younger than the other two who are in full egg production mode. She is also the 'skittish' and often runs, hops and 'flys' away when approached. The closest you can get to her is when she's having her bath, she is the most relaxed then.
