ANIMAL CARE

STACEY

STACEY THE HEN WAS FOUND WANDERING AROUND THE STREETS OF BOWERHAM, AND WAS MOST INDIGNANT WHEN SHE WAS PICKED UP BY A PASSER BY WHO CONTACTED ANIMAL CARE. SHE WAS NEVER CLAIMED, AND WAS REHOMED TO A VOLUNTEER WHO LIVES IN THE COUNTRY. SHE IS THE MOST OUT GOING, CHEEKIEST HEN IMAGINABLE. SHE HAS THE RUN OF A LARGE GARDEN, WHERE SHE SPENDS HER DAYS WITH ANOTHER HEN CALLED HELEN. SHE COMES INTO THE HOUSE WHENEVER SHE GETS THE OPPORTUNITY, AND LIKES TO SIT UP ON THE BACK OF A CHAIR, OR IN FRONT OF THE STOVE. SHE ALSO LIKES TO HANG AROUND THE KITCHEN WHERE SHE KNOWS SHE MIGHT GET SOME SCRAPS. CHEESE AND GRAPES ARE HER FAVOURITE TREATS. SHE BOSSES ALL THE OTHER ANIMALS IN THE HOUSE - THE DOGS HAVE LEARNED TO KEEP OUT OF HER WAY (SHE PECKS THEM ON THE NOSE IF THEY GET TOO CLOSE). SHE COMES TO SIT ON YOUR KNEE FOR A STROKE AND A CUDDLE, AND SHE TALKS AWAY ALL THE TIME. IF IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE SHE COMES AND GLARES THROUGH THE WINDOW UNTIL SOMEONE LETS HER IN. SHE IS A REAL CHARACTER, AND IS VERY LOVED.
