Super Soggy Bed Time

It has been a very rainy Sunday due to Tropical Cyclone Lua
crossing inland Western Australia. 
When the rain got heavy in the afternoon, the 2 Happy Hens
sheltered under the 4-wheel-drive parked in the car port.
The girls were not very impressed with their lack of
 grass grazing time today due to the wet weather.

The 2 Happy Hens had very wet feathers when it was
dark enough for them to retreat to their coop for the night.

 Super soggy bed time.
Lucky chicken feathers are waterproof!

Curry is on the left hand side of the photo and Giblet is on the right.
Giblet always gets wetter than Curry does when it rains.
Giblet loves water and loves running around in the rain.
The 2 Happy Hens have lots of preening to do in the morning.

Happy Hatch Day!

Happy Hatch Day to the 2 Happy Hens!
Wow - that is a bit of a tongue twister!

Curry and Giblet turn 2 years old today.
They are officially turning into "old chooks"!

Curry loves to eat broken snail shell off the rock.
The 2 Happy Hens are mad about snails, dead or alive, they love snails.
You can see new golden feathers on Curry's back.
I often say as a joke that Curry is turning a "curry colour"!

Curry jumps off the rock after her snail shell snack.

Giblet in action leaping off the stack of bricks.
The 2 Happy Hens love to go bug hunting when we remove the bricks. 
They often find spiders, slaters, small lizards and other yummy bug 
treats hiding under the bricks.
