Say hello to Henrietta the Hen. Henrietta is such a mother hen! She spends most of her day flapping about protecting her egg and chick, there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them. The rest of the time you can find her sitting keeping them warm while she tells them wonderful stories about life on the farm.

The egg and chick are reversible so your cute little chick can hatch out of its egg, for endless hatching fun!
