About Henrietta
Henrietta P. Henforth is the cluck of reason in a chaotic countryside. A direct descendant of the Henforth Free-Range Dynasty, she gave up a life of egg-show glory for hard-hitting agricultural journalism. Methodical, sharp-eyed, and famously punctual, she pecks away at local crop yields, suspicious feed substitutions, and the occasional suspicious molehill.

Background
Raised on a perfectly maintained free-range estate, Henrietta broke tradition by enrolling in the Royal Poultry Institute of Investigative Reporting (RPIIR). Her first front-page piece—"The Organic Feed Scandal of 2018"—earned her credibility across Wiltshire. Now, she monitors soil quality, seed swaps, and livestock standards with ruthless accuracy and a neatly ruled notebook.

Fun Fact
