I had a hen named Henrietta too !!!
But my fav was named Matilda...
Matilda would crouch down and let me pick her up and carry her around the chicken yard...
She would relax her head back against my shoulder...
Henrietta didn’t let me pick her up but she did sometimes let me pet her...
well until Matilda would come arunnin and drove her off...
:)
Ha..what a coincidence, Nana!
(both having pet hens with the same name)
I never forgot my ‘Henrietta’. She was so cute!
She’d follow me around and let me pick her up and love on her. :)
What a coincidence, I had a pet named Henrietta also! However, mine was a white duck. My sister brought home a young duckling from a friend's farm, and I raised it. Named it Henry. Until it grew up and laid eggs everywhere in the yard. I took Henrietta everywhere with me, on walks to the park. Other kids were envious. Things were good for a few years until my Dad's dogs had a litter of pups, and the mother dog killed my duck when it got too close to the pups.
