Peach Chiclet--Speckled Sussex.
Born August of 2011 and is closest to Buffy.
Peachie is our most docile hen and is often the one we reach for when children are visiting, or for anyone who is holding a hen for the first time. She fits perfectly in most people's arms, will settle into being held or carried for long periods of playing and imagination, and will intermittently ask a hen question that sounds like, "Brrrr...?" She is our least athletic hen. While everyone else breaks into a flying run for treats, she breaks into a fast waddle. She really is trying her best, and we are sure to save her portion of the treat for when she finally arrives, bless her heart. However, when digging is in progress, she surprises us all with a lightening-quick reflexes, snatching bugs and worms right out from under her sister's beaks!
