Getto Hen has a chick

Allow me to introduce Getto Hen. When the last resident of White House West sadly departed, she left behind many things including a small group of chickens. With no-one feeding them they quickly spread out across the farmyard and became 'wild' chickens, roosting in clever places and managing to survive without any outside help. I met Getto Hen shortly after I'd moved in as I rescued her from the jaws of Tyskie and Purple (White House East's canine residents). She survived and began to hang around outside our house probably due to me taking pity on her and throwing her feed. She really blossomed and acually began looking quite fat! Recently she proved how tough she is again by dominating our new flock of much larger black chickens with her sheer bravado and determination. Until recently she roosted in the tin shed at the back of our house but now she has a new focus, a single chick. How sweet they are together but how we fear for their safely as there are foxes a plenty in this neighbourhood. You couldn't cage her though as she is a free spirit in both mind and body, I salute you Getto Hen on behalf of all brave and plucky females, Kat x
