Meet Henrietta and Barb! Barb is Henrietta’s human. Every morning, Henrietta has the task of waking her human up and letting her know it’s time to get up and start the morning routine.
Together, Henrietta and Barb do their morning preening. Henrietta always listens politely while Barb practices her morning opera.
Then it’s tea time! Sometimes Barb gets distracted, and Henrietta has to help her finish the tea before it goes cold.
Now, which shoes to wear?
Now comes the most important time of the day. Henrietta selects her favorite collar, and Barb fastens it on for her. Oh la la! Doesn’t she look glamorous?
Henrietta and Barb strut confidently through the city streets. Everyone stares because, well, it’s not often that you see such a sophisticated pair!
I’ve always loved chickens. When I was little, my brother and I used to take our chickens for walks…or at least we tried. They were never quite as cooperative as Henrietta though!
