Pippa

I’m Pippa, a happy chicken living in in the sunny Wairarapa. This was first Ingrid’s, then Birgit’s account. Now I’m in charge.

Could you possibly tow this Bentley @AklTransport ??? On the footpath in Queen St, obstructing pedestrians just before peak rush.

I've heard it said that the early bird catches the worm but personally we prefer handfed dried mealworms and fruits of the forest 🐔

It is good to be back in the old country and have the best spots for a preen before bed. My humans don't seem to mind that we are top of the pecking order either!

[Pippa @karorichook]

Big news, everyone! With the addition of my babies my flock got too big. So I’ve moved back in with my original dad. We’re living an awesome country live now, watch out for my updated bio soon. I’ll hopefully tweet more now that we’re all settled.

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, but for a good reason — I’m a mother now! Here are my 4 lovely chicks:

[Pippa @karorichook]

Today neighbour’s really loud rooster (who’s moving out on Wednesday) had to go to work with his human. He was given meat pie for lunch and brought the leftovers home for us. We’re living the best chook life possible!

[Pippa @karorichook]

Neighbour chicken Judith vanished for 3 weeks and came home with 3 chicks yesterday. I want fluffy babies too!

[Pippa @karorichook]

Hanging out with Leo the rooster today.

[Pippa @karorichook]

Bedtime treat. I love apples and if I eat it fast enough I won’t have to share with Silvers and Pinky.

[Pippa @karorichook]

Last night Leo the rooster (our neighbour) stayed for a sleepover on top of our house. He started crowing at 6:12am, which we thought was a bit early for a weekend. If he wants to stay again tonight I’ll send him home.

[Pippa @karorichook]

Taking a dust bath. Sooooo gooooood!

[Pippa @karorichook]

Hey, everyone!

I’m Pippa and I have some sad news for you. Birgit (my friend who ran this Twitter account) has gone to the rainbow bridge.

As the oldest and most responsible chook here, I’m taking over now. Hello!

[Pippa @karorichook]

Gardening day means filling up of the green waste pile. Yum!!!

[Pippa @karorichook]

I summer I like to sleep on the roof.

[Pippa @karorichook]

Pippa is having a dust bath to be clean and pretty for the upcoming holidays.

[Pippa @karorichook]

We’re little dinosaurs who feel empathy with those suffering around us.

Thinking of our sisters who don’t have the same awesome life we have.

[Herbiⓥore @herbivore_club]

People say that birds are related to dinosaurs, but that’s really not true – birds aren’t related to dinosaurs… they are dinosaurs! 🦖

Humans keep 50 billion of them in captivity. Welcome to Jurassic Park...

[Pippa @karorichook]

Yay, the rain has stopped! We’re on a morning walk to grab all the critters off the grass.

[Pippa @karorichook]

26 eggs. A minimum of 11 not from her.

[Pippa @karorichook]

How on earth is Pippa broody again and why doesn’t she sit on ALL the eggs? Some of them aren’t even hers!
