This Living Nature baby chick soft toy is the littlest character in the Living Nature Hen House, but with the biggest personality!
Keeping up with his brothers and sisters, this adorable little chick has cute little orange legs, the fluffiest body and the sweetest face. A perfect farmyard soft toy gift for children who love baby animals!
Also available in yellow.
Chicks are super fluffy baby chickens. Their mothers, called hens, lay eggs and sit on these to grow the chick. After 21 days the chick will break out of the egg by pecking tiny holes in it with a bump on its beak called an egg tooth. It’ll be wet through at first from the yolk inside the egg. Once it’s dry, their down (chick fur) becomes really fluffy and soft! This fuzzy soft coat makes these baby birds really adorable. At 3-6 weeks old though, they go through an ‘ugly phase’ and become furless! This happens so their new feathers can grow, and at 20 weeks they become fully grown chickens.
There are more chickens on earth than people – 25 billion.
Farm or chicken coop.
The record number of eggs laid by one chicken in a day is 7.
“I joined the team in September of 2021 as a Farm Hand. This was my first proper job and the experience was very insightful as working with animals there is never a dull moment. I have always loved animals and have had many different animals growing up such as guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and horses so I knew the animal industry was a career I would like to be involved in. Since joining Kew Little Pigs Farm I have had the opportunity to care for the animals and share my knowledge with all the customers that have visited the farm. I was promoted to Head Farm Hand in January 2023.
I look forward to my journey here at Kew Little Pigs Farm and hope to see you on the farm soon!”
